Hate and love, more of the former lately. But sometimes we get such crappy candidates that we end up hating one so much, it makes us think we love the other.
Yeah, it’s an abusive relationship. We’re trying really hard to move on, not easy.
I am disappointed with politics in any of its forms, this has become a back and forth of bad governments.
People no longer even vote for the best option, but rather for the least worst.
Deep down, I think the system is designed to keep things the same, while selling people the illusion of a change that will never come, or that will hardly come.
Don’t really care for any of them given how they’re only puppets for those who hold true power. Ideally we would move away from democracy that only makes us fight between ourselves while those who run the country get away with doing as they please.
I liked the way he governed. I like that our institutions work and that there isn’t as much corruption as we see in other countries, even within police controls.
In the next elections, I will vote for Matthei, as she seems more centrist to me. I voted for Boric for the same reason.
Personally, I dislike Milei. Too conservative, too politically blunt, and a constant USA fanboy. I also don’t agree with some of his measures, either political or economic.
However, he is light years clear of Fernandez, our previous president, and most if not all of the Peronist leaders that could even hope to put up a challenge to his reelection. He has also managed to get inflation under control and despite some stumbles the economy seems to generally be doing better than before. At the very least, the general direction is positive compared to the Kirchnerist economic model.
It’s a bit early to tell still, lots can happen in a few years, but if things keep moving at this pace and unless something drastic happens, I predict I’ll be voting for him again In the next elections.
Like many others, I’m kind of dissapointed in how little he has been able to achieve. Like, many of his campaign promises have been left forgotten.
However, I’m ok with him. All I ask if for a goverment is that it that doesn’t threaten me. He’s not a right wing authoritarian like all the remaining candidates of the past election, so at least I feel like his four years at the presidency will be peaceful.
If nothing bad happens, I will be voting for his party again.
It’s complicated. I do like him as a person, but I think he’s lacking as a president.
As for who I would vote for in the next elections, I don’t know yet. We only have a handful of names of potential candidates. But I do know who I’m not voting for. Let me go over the possible candidates who may run.
Carlos Pineda: Probably the strongest candidate. He ran for the 2023 elections and was likely going to win if he hadn’t been removed by the TSE. He’s a right-wing populist and what we call a narco candidato.
Nery Ramos: Currently the president of Congress and former director of the national police. Even though he isn’t part of the official party, he has strong ties with the current government. Some of his actions are questionable, but given the options we have, he might be the best choice.
Sandra Torres: It seems we won’t get rid of her yet. She’s the former First Lady (2008), corrupt as hell, but somehow always ends up in second place. Just like in the past decade, she won’t win, but she will rank high.
Roberto Arzú: Son of former president Álvaro Arzú. He ran for president in 2019 and tried to run again in 2023, but the TSE removed him. Being an Arzú works against him since nobody trusts the Arzú family—especially now that his half-brother, Álvaro Arzú Jr., is one of the most hated people in the country. However, it works in his favor that he’s not technically an Arzú, as the entire family hates him. Roberto is a populist—I can’t deny that he’s great at talking and says what people want to hear. Do I trust him? No, but there are certainly worse people than him.
Zury Ríos: Daughter of former dictator Efraín Ríos Montt. I could go on about how corrupt she is, but it’s not worth it. If there are still people who believe she can win, it’s probably because they live in a bubble.
I don’t dislike, the famous "it’s what we have for today".
He had two good first terms in the past, he could have abused his power and didn’t do it when he had 80% popularity, but his third term, unsurprisingly, is being terrible.
I would vote for him in a second round against the far right or if the alternatives continue to be very bad (Bolsonaro supporters simply shouldn’t be an option for sane and ethical people) but, even if I disagree, I understand well those who think about voting blank next year.
Boric and the major cabinet members have been competent enough
Many others are god awfully incompetent and/or corrupt
So is his bloc in general
I’ll vote for the doomed candidacy of the uncharismatic center left lady, whose political career is already over from having had to do the work of the actual government spokeswoman, who didn’t want to do the dirty work, and thank fuck isn’t running either
Idk, it’s an odd feeling. Glad that we don’t have a Trump supporter as a president tho.
But about the 2026 elections, I see with a lot of uncertainty. Lula is 79yo, period, and I don’t think he should run for another term. I also believe that his party’s not doing an inch of effort to popularize someone to run for presidency. OTOH, the uneligible (Bolsonaro) is heavy likely to be arrested and I don’t see anyone that could have his supporters besides Bolsonaro himself to gather votes.
Maybe these almost bipartisan elections is going to end and we’ll have a third real¹ alternative. Or someone with similar speeches to one of them will take Bolsonaro/Lula supporters as a part 2 of PT (Lula’s party) vs PL (Bolsonaro’s party).
I want to say that there’s still a lot to happen before October 2026.
I say real because although every party can have a candidate, the 1st turn results makes it look like there are 2 options only, which will represent the left and the right. And in practice, if your vote is for someone besides those two, it’ll be as impacful as not voting. At least that’s how I see it.
2-Dont fcking know, every party and candidate is worse than the last one, probably voting Movimiento Ciudadano knowing comfortably that my vote doesnt matter and Morena will likely win by a landslide again
I dislike him and dislike our former president, and I doubt that either him or his predecessor will be running for president again. I have always voted for the same party because I always take time to read every candidate proposals, and it turns out that the ones that align with my ideas come from the same party, bonus points if they distance themselves from either PT or PL because I think that these two are different sides of the same populist bs coin.
No. I prefer this president, but i don’t like him.
>Who are you voting for in the next presidential election?
No one, I am very sure that I won’t assist next elections (Which was my original plan in 2023, until someone convinced me at last moment). Even if I still at the country at that moment, the fine is a joke anyway.
I realized that I fundamentally disagree with the general Argentine idiosyncrasy and I believe that this country will never change because its people won’t, so I took my girlfriend offer to leave to her homeland in near future. I am expecting to receive my paperwork at some moment this year.
It’s fucking hell down here. There is no option from the opposition. Of course Milei never was an option but after all he’s doing, the least he deserves is to go to jail or to undergo psychiatric hospitalization asap. He is clearly in no shape to rule our beautiful country. But oh well he is there as a corporation’s puppet to gift away all our sovereignty. So they don’t even care he is nuts, probably that’s why they picked him.
Besides that the problem is that there is no good option at the moment. It feels like a black hole honestly.
I don’t know who to vote for, probably Matthei to prevent a certain someone from her politics’ side to win. And to keep the balance of left-right-left-right governments.
Nope, but I guess I’m voting for him anyway. I don’t believe in blank voting and as a formal worker I’d be worse off in a peronist government. At least with Milei I can get a PS5 Pro that’s only twice as expensive as the original value. Yay…
He’s much much better than the kirchneristas before him in most aspects, but he’s still not a good president. He likes to insult female artists who don’t agree with him, he attacks trans people, he sucks Trump’s ass at every chance, and he’s generated this cult of braindead fanatics around him (similar to what kirchneristas did for years)
I wish we had a decent candidate, but for now we’re stuck with the chainsaw madman, because the other option is kirchnerismo (an ultra corrupt mafia organization that has effectively ravaged our economy and who refuses to manage the economy in a responsible manner)
Who I will vote for? Not sure, but as we keep leaning more and more towards right-leaning pigs, whomever is the best alternative on the left is who gets my vote.
I actively disliked him in the past and attempted to move my peers towards more centrist options. Seeing he ended up being the only real non-establishment option, I endorsed him last election. I do not regret that vote.
He and his platform are, by all measures, a big failure. And I see absolutely no light in the possible candidates. I guess I’ll numb myself moving forward and avoid thinking too much of politics.
I like Lula as a person. The political system in Brazil is basically reverting to the oligarchy it was before in the 1950s, without any of the positives and I don’t think anyone can really do anything about it. I don’t think it matters who I vote for because the machine doesn’t really care.
He’s ok, some good some bad, did more than I expected from a minority government.
I haven’t picked a candidate, there’s talk about the current labor minister as a potential candidate, I might support her if she ends up in the ballot.
He’s alright. Probably the best president in my lifetime which sounds impressive but isnt a high bar at all.
Colombia has problems that cant be solved by democracy alone, and his failure to do meaningful change is proof of that. I’m still voting for the left next election because I prefer a leftist neolib president that cant govern to a centrist neolib who can, or even worse, a fascist.

Anyone not a peronist of course.
current president is good for now but won’t be sustainable later.
1-. I legally can’t complain
2-. Doesn’t matter, our election system is so advanced that we already know who will win the 2030 elections

hate him, hate the opposition. blank vote for now.
I like my president (in Brazil). I’m not fanatic about him but he’s the best option we have now.
No. Nobody.
No i don’t like her and unfortunately we don’t have any good óptimos
I don’t like him but i don’t actively dislike him. There isn’t a good candidate for the next elections so I’m taking some more time to think about it.

We dont really have one tbh, she is just a puppet.
I used to like him but now I simply don’t care. I don’t think any politician has what it takes so I guess blank vote

Don’t like per se but the other alternative was the devil.
I’m voting next for whoever is not related / close to the devil.

Referring to Mexico:
No.
And I cant vote because we dont have presidencial elections
He’s much much better than the kirchneristas before him in most aspects, but he’s still not a good president.

Yes.
It’s too early to say who’s up for running.
Meh, Bolsonaro was a lot worse and i ain’t seeing anyone better with a chance in brazilian politics
laughs in nicaraguan
I don’t LIKE like him, but the old man is the only same option ATM, sadly, so he’ll get my vote again.
1- No, i don’t like him.
2- Probably him, only because the other candidates are worse.
Bruh
Fuck Dina, fuck the congress, fuck the police and fuck that guy that operated Dina’s vagina.
He’s alright. Probably the best president in my lifetime which sounds impressive but isnt a high bar at all.
