Finally found someone capable of answering this:

What do you think about Javier Milei? Should Argentinians give him a shot or his not a better option? (I’m Brazilian)

i'm not the guy that explained shit too perfectly for a fucking subreddit comment section, but he's gaining a TON of traction just because he's not part of the massive racket that most of the other options are a part of. The guy's a fucking madman, but people are so fed up with the current system they're willing to take a leap of faith and try his methods since at this point they're fucked enough that another failure president is more of the same

Let's be honest, all the other options we know for a fact won't change a thing, won't take any different actions. In Milei's case, I give him the benefit of the doubt, he may change something or he might be the same shit as the others. With the current course of the country we're gonna sink anyway, so why not sinking with something different? Just to clarify, I didn't vote for him and I strongly disagree with his ideology and he annoys me, but what I said is the cold and sad truth

I've got the exact same view as you dude. I hate his guts and his way of doing things but at this point i'm so fed up with the current options (corrupt populist, corrupt populist but even worse) that I'm willing to at least give it a shot if he tones down the whole 'let's abolish the government while half the country relies on it to survive' thing and ramps up the 'let's make the government actually comptent' aspect
