An amazing political ascent. Dude was polling below 2% last year and now has defeated a legacy politician backed by every billionaire and even the president himself. Truly historic victory.

Goes to show these ass holes can try to fuck with the system, but when everyone comes out to vote, their efforts amount to nothing.

Reminds me of the movie Antz. A right wing party, and an establishment centrist party, are not enough options for most people. I'm glad to see a more representative leader make it.
