Stupid people not realize they are stupid. Most people that vote don't even know what inflation means.
Even without fraud, democracy is tyranny of the majority.

I still smirk when both US political teams get all worked up about who stole which election. Its all so laughable. I find it hard to take anyone seriously that doesn't think both sides are trying to rig elections in many many ways. There's too much at stake for them to not do this. Some things are probably subtle but others are not. Then you have the fact that the owners of the country pay both sides to do their bidding.
That's not to even mention when you talk to the average Joe and realize he votes even though he is completely ignorant about how politics works. Or he's completely outsourced his brain to someone else.

I don't know what Milei could change, but he surely has entertainment value!

Really the only reason for paying any attention to politics is the entertainment value.

Socialism relies on a large number of useful idiots who's votes can be bought with promises of free stuff. And then later, after they put their masters into power, they become the slaves.

I mean... socialism doesn't have to have voters right? I mean really, do you think they people's votes matter in socialist nations? I can barely even type this sentence it is so ridiculous. I think you just described most of Europe and North America which aren't really socialist yet. They have large welfare states but most have stock markets and private ownership of the means of production so not really socialist nations... yet.

I have no opinion on whether the recent Argentina election results are real (when I use the word "real", I mean in the sense that the counting was not rigged). However, it's plausible that they are real. Poor people are voting for Peronists because they are dependent on government welfare. From a Reuters article on the election [1]:
"Many blamed the Peronists, but Massa - a moderate - had shot back that the government's social safety nets and subsidies were key for many hard-up Argentines, including a recent stunt showing how train and bus fares could rise sharply if he lost.
That message seems to have hit home.
"Peronism is the only space that offers the possibility that the poorest of us can have basic things at our fingertips," said bricklayer Carlos Gutierrez, 61, as he went to vote on Sunday."
An excellent example of government welfare inducing a drug-like dependency, which then reinforces the politicians in power.
