Colombia and Israel serve some of the same functions for US imperialism in their respective regions, and have close relations. also, Chavez was right

Chilean constituent assembly elections tomorrow (and the day after, because of, y'know, everything). Anyone cares to give a forecast? i think it'll be bad  Not like, bad-bad, but certainly a step down from the 78% Apruebo victory last year. My main concern is that, other than a lot of usual right-wing voters going for Apruebo in the referendum, the fault lines in the electorate will remain more or less the same, and Chile Vamos will retain more or less their usual share of the vote (40-50%, though closer to 40 due to Piñera's disastrous numbers), which would be catastrophic under a first-past-the-post system since the left's split in over 5 different lists, while the right's largely unified save for a couple of nutjobs who are going as independents, but since it's a proportional system (D'Hondt method? nobody knows how the gently caress it works lmao), the right's advantages are somewhat mitigated. Still, I suspect a lot of voters are gonna be intimidated by the number of lists and just go with whoever's familiar. The atomization of the left *will* matter in the elections for mayor and governor, though. Some pointers to keep in mind for tomorrow (+day after) night when I'm getting drunk off my rear end obsessively refreshing the Servel page: - The magic number is 2/3, since that'll be the quorum required to agree on constitutional articles once the assembly actually starts drafting the constitution, per the roadmap approved in reaction to the 2019 protests. The right will likely clear that 1/3 bar easily (and if they don't, they'll surely be able to get a few christian democrat fucks on their side for specific articles), but that might not necessarily be enough to stonewall major changes, since if a matter is not covered in the constitution it'll be left to be decided by regular legislation, and since the right forecasts remaining a minority in parliament for a while, that could potentially be even worse for them. At any rate, the 2/3 threshold is what a lot of analysts will be looking at when tallying the results. If the left (or, let's say, the not-right, since there's a lot of independents who can be roughly classified as center-to-center-left progressives) gets less than that, it's a defeat. If it gets close to that, it's a win. If it gets more than that, C H I L E Z U E L A . - My absolute dream result would be for Marcela Cubillos (former minister and senator, chief saboteur of the 2011 education reforms, one of the most prominent faces of the Rechazo camp and wife to similar shitgoblin Andrés Allamand, both being famous for voting against the legalization of divorce in 2004 (!) and each getting divorced the next year after it passed) to eat poo poo once again and fail in her constituent bid. It's extremely unlikely to happen, though, since she received more corporate donations than anyone else in the country and she's running in the extremely safe District 11 (if by any chance you remember the Rechazo vote only winning in three uber-wealthy districts in the entire country, District 11 concentrates all three of those plus a couple of middle- and working-class ones). Still, if by some chance the planets aligned and she didn't get a seat, C H I L E Z U E L A . - If by some chance Jiles's husband (whom, she made this very clear, she does not gently caress) wins the governorship of the capital, then Jiles is set to win the presidency by a landslide, no matter what the polls say. It'll likely go to Orrego or Parot, though, and if it goes to Edwards we live in hell. If Oliva wins, C H I L E Z U E L A .

reignonyourparade posted:Thanks for the post but also: Okay, so Jiles has been trying to get her husband, Pablo Maltés, elected for governor pretty much single-handledly (Pamela Jiles is, in theory, part of the Humanist Party, which, in theory, is part of the Frente Amplio coalition, but Maltés is running as a Humanist despite there already being a Frente Amplio candidate because who cares). Since the polls usually show Jiles as the political figure with the highest approval rating on a national level, she's been trying to transfer her base of support to Maltés. It's just that... nobody's entirely sure what Jiles's base of support even is? One would assume it's the left-leaning youth vote (the "nietitos") she most vocally appeals to (the "twitter left", to give an idea), but polls suggest her supporters are usually non-political or centrists who either approve of the pension fund withdrawals that she's championed or are drawn to her celebrity status and media antics (I might give Jiles a lot of poo poo, but it's an absolute disgrace for the "proper" left that they haven't been able to win this crowd over if the bar is that low). Anyway, Maltés has given a series of eyebrow-raising statements trying to appeal to Jiles's (assumed) crowd, including identifying as a "mestizo kuir (queer) non-binary transfeminist", the "twitter left" responded with skepticism, Jiles later confirmed that Maltés was indeed non-binary since She's Never hosed Him (???), LGBTQ activists responded this sounded like a lovely joke, Jiles shot back saying LGBTQ activist were acting like "gender cops", and also that if Maltés is elected She Will Finally gently caress Him (???) and livestream the event (???). Y'know, the usual! some links (in spanish): https://www.eldesconcierto.cl/nacio...del-genero.html https://www.chvnoticias.cl/viral/pamela-jiles-insiste-acabar-abstinencia-pablo-maltes-electo_20210514/ Anyway, my take is that this Won't Matter because 1) the "twitter left" is not Jiles's actual base of support, her actual base of support doesn't give a poo poo, they just need to withdraw their pension funds because they're desperate and this is a hell country, and 2) her base of support isn't actually engaged enough to vote for governor, because it has no direct relation to why they support Jiles in the first place. So if by any chance Maltés does win, then that'd mean Jiles's supporters are in fact both politically engaged and don't give a poo poo about which ridiculous drama Jiles gets herself into each week (like, last month her kid was caught falsely claiming to be mapuche for Tiktok clout, last year her husband accused some leftist politician of having been a Pinochet era snitch who got a woman tortured, which was later denied by the woman's son, last week Jiles said this, i don't know, who loving cares, que se acabe chile), which would mean she's gonna win the presidentials by a landslide because none of the other prospective candidates has a following like that.

Since the defeat of the Shining Path, America’s top foreign-policy priority in Peru has been drug interdiction, and Peruvians of all political perspectives feel little zeal for that project. And Peruvians feel less need to fake it, since China has replaced the United States as Peru’s top trading partner. The Peruvian COVID-19 vaccination program relies on Chinese and not U.S. vaccines. ty davey

Re: chilean elections, results are only halfway in, but things don't seem too bad. Some real shitheads getting in, but overall the right is still short of the 1/3 it needed to effectively have veto power in the drafting of the new constitution. A fairly good showing for the communists too. Jadue was re-elected as mayor by a landslide, so this is a boost for his presidential chances. Quoting my doomer post from the other day: SexyBlindfold posted:Some pointers to keep in mind for tomorrow (+day after) night when I'm getting drunk off my rear end obsessively refreshing the Servel page: 1. so far the right doesn't have the 1/3 it needs - it's debatable whether the other 2/3rds could be considered "the left", since by far the biggest winners tonight were independents (mostly left-leaning ones, granted, but you get all sorts), but since the constitutional proposals from everyone save for the right were fairly similar, a broad consensus should be possible. 2. she's winning by the largest majority in the country lmao 3. Jiles's husband ate poo poo so I guess he'll remain a virgin (???). Orrego (christian democrat, centrist) and Karina Oliva (Frente Amplio, left) are going to the runoff. Oliva will likely get obliterated, but it's highly significant that the right wasn't even able to make it to the runoff for what was likely the most important race of the night. e: communist mayor in downtown Santiago holy poo poo SexyBlindfold has issued a correction as of 03:39 on May 17, 2021 |
