If this guy isn’t a Time Lord, I don’t know who is. (No pun intended.) Google Image Search.
Sounds like a good guy. Good job, Argentina! 
The presidential hopeful says he believes the country’s Central Bank should be abolished and that he wants to dollarize the economy
Milei has called climate change a “socialist lie,” as Argentina suffers through a severe, three-year drought that experts say was probably exacerbated by higher temperatures brought on by climate change.
Milei has said that the buying and selling of organs should be treated as “just another market.” He has taken a strong stance against abortion, which was made legal in Argentina in 2020, and has said he believes sexual education to be part of a “post-Marxist agenda” that aims to destroy the concept of family.

The Doctor’s name is not “Who.”
(eye continues twitching)
Except in the Peter Cushing films- it’s canon that those films were made in the universe in which the Doctor is real based on rumors and hearsay.
Why does the neoliberal press insist on using euphemisms such as “libertarian” to describe reactionary far right fascists?
Does the article also describe him as a “conservative populist” or similar? I don’t have a WaPo subscription…
I think he’s running for president. The election is on October 22. Polls show he has about 5% support (at least according to Wikipedia).
I think I would give them a pass this time… the guy is running from El Partido Libertario (The Libertarian Party).
Sorry about the blepharospasm. But if I had titled the thread “I think the Doctor was just elected president of Argentina”, many Dopers would have missed the meaning.
He’s a Time Lord. He’s not bound by the calendars of this insignificant planet.
AKA. Oops.
It’s a gift link you should be able to read it.
Oh god, where to begin.
It looks like it’s our turn to be the “Country that decides to elect an idiot/ commits to very stupid course”, like the brits with brexit, the americans with Trump, our neighbors in Brazil with Bolsonaro, etc.
The idiot in question has NOT won the presidential election (yet).
We have open (and compulsory) primaries and we count the votes received in total by each party, which gives some reliable (but not certain) data about how the general election is going to go.
This creature’s party got 30% or so of the vote, the “sane” (for some very generous definitions of sane) right wing party got about 28% and the Peronists (think the labor union part of the democrats, that also have a few fascists and also have a few extreme leftists in their rows and you’ll be completely mistaken but thats as close as you are going to understand Peronism without taking a college course on it) got about 27%.
We have no idea what’s going to happen in the general election, I hope that many voted for this idiot as a protest vote knowing that this was a primary and not the general and will vote for a sane option in october.
I hope.
Time Lords are supposed to be both wise and intelligent, this guy is neither.
There’s a bad apple in every bunch.
I know but even the evil Time Lords where at least coherent
All good markets need a government sponsored pump-priming to get them moving. Perhaps this fellow could launch the human organ-selling market by auctioning off his kidneys, liver, and evidently unused brains.
Frankly this sucks big hairy donkey balls, It’s very probable that if he’s elected he’ll end up fleeing the country before his term ends, but even so It would take decades to fix what he can destroy in a couple of years.
Welcome to the club. Ouch!
Any tips for the (possible) next four years?
I believe it was Bluto in Animal House who said “Drink heavily!”
“Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude…”
That guy’s hair is one part Boris Johnson, one part Beatle, one part young Zac Efron, and all bad.
