 this is the best political advertisement I've seen in my life. I honestly almost teared up.

I left Argentina in 2001 when I was 17 in the midst of the Corralito meltdown.

I moved to Spain while my family stayed back in Argentina. I was completely broke, and was lucky enough to get a job at an AI department in the university with which I could barely survive.

This video moved me profoundly. I don't like sharing political things, but this video is so good it almost transcends them.

 Dubbed version? 
Comprendo un poco español. 
 I wish Argentinas all the best. Hitchhiked across the country in March 2022, enjoying mate along the way, incredible people and nature. Dollar was for 200 peso then, now it's 1000... Thanks for sharing

 Amazing times we live in my friend.
Also, your family should be incredibly  proud of who youve become. 
 Es fuerte! 
 Argentina es una potencia exportadora... de cerebros.
Todos tenemos conocidos que se fueron de la República de Peronia.
 
 Desgracidamente va a ganar Massa, yo me fui porque quise, y no volvería, pero debe ser jodido irse porque no queda otra... mucha gente de bien se va a ir del pais cuando ganen de nuevo estas lacras 
 Can all those people who left (including you) vote?  
 Did argentina experience a hybrid Marxism? 
 Me recagaste che’ 😪 
 Cuba has the same problem. I'm one of thousands who have had to leave. 
 Demasiada gente de poder alineada con Massa, ojalá el 19 de noviembre la noticia sea que los argentinos sorprendieron al mundo… 
 Spain has this problem too, a soft version if you like.

I know is not comparable, but next 10 years wont be very good for Spain, probably. 
 How does the vote look? Does the endorsement of the candidate that dropped out last week bring anything toward Milei? 
 I dont speak spanish 
 As unlikely as it seems, his victory would be a breath of fresh air for the whole world. Until the "western democracies" kill him, of course...
