        Arauz is centre left ("Correista") and won the first round with 30%, then you have the indigenous "leftist" Yaku Perez and fucking liberal (right wing/fascist) Lasso in 2nd/3rd with 20%.

        Perez campaigned for Lasso in previous elections "cuz Correismo is the greater evil so we must ally with this fascist banker who want us dead, that's the logical thing to do, obviously" :capitalist-woke:

        Some real malinchistas hours who up :pika-pickaxe:

        And of course is expected that outaiders just see "indigenous leftist" and automatixally think that's the good guy.

          This is exactly the play. They have been coopting Wiphala flags too in order to muddy the waters

          They are the enemy in this case, anyone walking in lockstep with US foreign policy is to be looked at with extreme suspicion.

        Confused by all this? I sure af was. This pod ep lays it all out, including the interconnections with other neighbouring countries and exposes the model of future US Imperialism in the region. It's essential listening to understand the situation imo. Moderate Rebels pod - It's available in the podcast feed too. I listened to it twice to get it straight lol.

      Yaku Perez is not leftist, he's a CIA/NED OP, he had a total image makeover to look like an indigenous environmentalist. The last campaign he ran, he looked like a clean cut businessman, but this time he grew his hair long and changed his name to Yaku. He supports the coup attempts in Bolivia and Venezuela, basically anything the US line in South America. As someone pointed out previously, the CIA is now "Woke", they know how to pull the heartstrings of liberal identity politics. They see someone portraying themselves as an indigenous environmentalist, and they automatically assume he's the leftist. Let politics take command, don't just look at the surface.
