For two decades, the choice for the most effective option to oppose Kirchnerism has guided the vote of millions of Argentines. There are, of course, ideological motivations, genuine political and economic traditions, but the rejection and animosity towards the figure of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and her surroundings, as well as support, have played a guiding role in the electoral map.
This mark of recent Argentine democracy speaks of the strength of Néstor and Cristina Kirchner and the powers that they faced with policies in favor of equality, rebels against orthodox recipes, but also of the magnitude of their deficits. From end to end of the first three Kirchnerist governments (2003-2015), which are the ones that Cristina admits as her own, the traces of corruption, a thick line that proved counterproductive and a persistent Manichean practice to delimit what is democratic, what is popular and the progressive pushed a portion of the electorate to choose whatever option faced them.
