      They voted for this. There’s a lot of idiots in Argentina and they’re about to get what they asked for

        Only about half of them did, the other half shouldn’t have to suffer because they’re in the same country as the idiots.

            Yes, it’s how it works. But that doesn’t mean everyone in a country deserves what’s going to happen to them if a slim majority of them makes the ‘wrong’ choice in an election.

            Also note that the political class didn’t help themselves by having the finance minister be the guy that ran against him. Voting for the same guy that was in charge during the hyperinflation period was probably not a very attractive prospect for many.
