  • It’s just telling the people what they want to hear. Just saying you’ll end corruption once and for all will give you lots of followers. What happens after you win, who cares.

    The previous president, Alberto, was (afaik) equally loved by the public, made promises about improvement, corruption, blah blah. Made things worse, now it’s turn for the next guy.

    People in South America are already stupid, disconnected & uninformed. No need to make things worse, just maintain the status quo.

    Outside of economics, his proposed social politics are so crowd-pleasing, it makes me wonder if he just promised to make abortion illegal just because he wanted votes. Like, why would he care?




  • I don’t think that’s the case. My country is also big, cities are apart by hundreds of km. But our cities still are dense, there are (almost) no suburbs, and roads are not giants. In my city (2nd largest in the country) the largest roads have 6 lanes. There is only 1 street with 8 lanes. A lot of important busy streets have 4 lanes. Most streets have only 2 lanes.

    There are still sidewalks (many streets even have more sidewalk than road), there aren’t huge parking lots everywhere, public transportation is everywhere.
