SAN JOSE (Reuters) - Costa Rica’s President-elect Carlos Alvarado Quesada ran up a bigger-than-expected margin of victory in Sunday’s runoff election, leading a progressive coalition to beat back a stiff run from a Christian conservative singer.

He has faced much stronger headwinds by backing gay marriage in the conservative Central American country. In the closing days of the campaign, a poll showed seven in 10 Costa Ricans were opposed to such unions.

[Tijn Von Ingersleben]

Yeah...Juan the subsistence farmer voted for this guy because of his strong stance on gay marriage. Mmmm...yeah.
Why he won;
Poor people+Progressives=Gibs
If you make $500/yr...what's not to love? When you haven't a pot to piss in...why not vote for the pro gay guy who promises the most?

Progressives made Venezuela possible

Not really. There are no D politicians pitching progressive values. Bernie did in the last election and the D party and it's friends in the MSM colluded to screw him out of the nomination, so that a criminal corporatist global elitist could win it.

A Christian is running?

Why we can't have that. Everyone should have the right to kill their baby and marry their dog, ESPECIALLY the same gendered dog.

Yes, and Bernie went along with it. You failed to mention that part.

Hell, he would not even discuss her e-mails.

At the end of the day, it got him a fancy sports car and half a million dollar home by the lake.

Yes he did.

The other thing is the D Party and it's friends in the media who colluded to screw Bernie voters, have yet to face any consequences and apparently many D voters are fine with it.

A progressive victory in a international power house. Forget Britain, the US, Italy - Costa Rica swung left!

Costa Rica turned left in 1948 when they disbanded their military and funneled the money into education. They`ve had universal healthcare since 1961 and 90% of their energy does not come from fossil fuels. They are light years ahead of us. What we have that they don`t are neo-Nazis.

Agreed on most of that, but you went off the rails with the Neo-Nazi statement. I suspect you think anyone who voted for Trump, is an R, or not a liberal is a Neo-Nazi. Am I right?

Secondly, the numbers of REAL neo-Nazis in this country are minuscule...but logical thinking is lost on many Americans. You?

Thirdly, you won't find hardly any D pols willing to push for what Costa Rica has implemented. The D party is NOT a progressive party. It is a corporatist, elitist, and globalist party....much like the R party.

You are as ignorant about Central America as with everything else. Costa Rica was a CIA stronghold in the area throughout the Cold War. A country that never had a significant communist movement at a time of upheaval in the area and remained a bastion of democracy. CR broke relations with Cuba and Fidel which were not re-established for 50 years. Turned left, my ass.

You're out of your element here kid.

Your suspicions are wrong. The people in Charlottesville carrying tiki torches and giving the Hitler salute are the neo Nazis and the millions of people that support them are neo-Nazis. I recognize that a lot of Trump voters are just out of touch with reality thinking that we`re going to re-open steel mills that shut down in the 80s and there will be a boom in coal mining, etc.

You're out of your element here kid.

Turning military spending into education dollars is indeed leftist along with universal healthcare. I`ve been to CR several times and unlike you, I know something about the country. WTF does the CIA and the cold war have to do with today`s Costa Rica? Not a damn thing. Costa Rica never let the CIA overthrow their elected leader and install a goon like they did in Guatemala and so many other places.

The bottom line: I know a hell of a lot more about Costa Rica than you do. The CIA operated in Costa Rica 70 years ago has zero to do with CR`s progressive policies today. That was really a stupid thing to bring up but apparently that`s all you got.

Nicaragua turned left, El Salvador turned left, Guatemala and Honduras tried to turn left but not Costa Rica. You know nothing. You are simply ignorant.
