Boric may mean longer term riots and social problems due to a failing economy, high interest rates, inability to borrow money to fund promises etc etc.
Whoever wins the poor and downtrodden suffer most - middle classes are sufficiently well educated to mostly manage the systems imposed, the rich and/or corrupt can afford to adapt behaviours to suit.
Perhaps the main take home lesson is that democracy doesn't work. When voters are so polarised (economically and socially) they vote in their rational (to them) self interest, not in their capacity as a member of a larger society.
Like the UK faced with the dominant choice of Boris or Jeremy the answer was clearly given. The balanced vote may have been Libdems (very decent people) but they seriously lost ground. SNP north of the border are simply the dominant emotional choice - rationality is a matter of opinion
