53,917 votes left to count if my math is right, much larger gap between Fujimori and Castillo. PERU LIBRE!

    It's extremely unlikely that the fascist candidate is going to be any better on LGBTQ issues, and they are definitely going to be worse on things like labor and indigenous issues.

    So yeah, critical support.

      Lol, the election was between two social conservatives

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujimorism#Ideology

      Fujimorism is characterized by its social conservatism. In March 2017, for example, Popular Force blocked an investigation into alleged sexual abuse within the Catholic church using the justification that it was only intended as an attack on religion.

      Peru has a long way to go, Castillo is huge progress. Very easy for Global North critics to ignore the reality that social progress is a privilege.
