The Chilean student movement is so, so inspiring, specially when you see what the high school kids are doing.

And being completely superficial for one moment, Gabriel Boric can totally GET IT

Polls showed 80% of public support for students and 26% for the president in the midst of the protests. Today, polls indicate 70% for students, and 35% for Piñera.

80+26=106
...So, there's a 6% that supports both the students and the president? (And for the second poll: there's a 5% that supports both?)

Margin of error?

That's a pretty large margin of error.

No, those are differents questions. "Do you support the students mov.?": Yes 80%, No 20% (or something like that)
Do you support Piñera's government? Yes 26% No 74%

I don't know much about this movement but I LOVE what I've read about it.

Camilla Vallejo is a BAMF.
