I guess the Venezuelan effect is doing its work and scared people into continuity.

Some things to ponder is.
1.- The communist candidate is extremely well-educated, so maybe the accusations of communist were the product of his younger days? but then again Trotsky and Lenin were also educated.
2.- Communism seems to be a symptom, not a disease, when income inequality, crony capitalism and the closing of doors to personal growth run rampant, it seems that people vote out of anger and they think things cant get worse.
3.- Venezuela may be the most visual example of the failure of communism, since there is a lot of openess in its society and we see exactly what its going on and how its spiraling towards failure.
