For anyone who might be interested in the subject matter, Argentina is currently in electoral season, and about as horribly polarized in its domestic politics as the US.
This person’s words reflect an extreme and unhinged point of view that only correlates with reality in common places in the Latin American condition: poverty, corruption. Things ubiquitous even in the United States if you care to visit places away from the large cities.
The reality is that Argentina’s democracy is healthy, its media landscape is diverse (with a majority privately-owned opposition representation, as a matter of fact), and its electoral system (despite routine claims from the losing party) is internationally regarded as fair.
This is immediately apparent to anyone familiar with the US system, for example. Glaring issues in the US system like gerrymandering, unfair party primaries, inconsistent and unfair rules for ballot access, corrupt campaign finance and media access systems, an electoral college that distorts the will of the majority – these problems are all absent in the electoral system of Argentina.
It’s ok to not understand reality at the young age of 23, but my advice to OP is please – please – travel a little, talk to people with other perspectives more, and get out of your echo chamber. And put down that copy of Clarin immediately. :)
