The candidate for Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, combats stress by ironing and it seems to us that, easy memes “así ironchaba así así” aside, contains an apt metaphor for what has been the campaign that, praise be to heaven, is already over. The flist-flast has been mastered with all the candidates, because the partisan followers have devoted themselves to scrutinizing the opposite in order to catch him in a resignation, so much so that some motivated people have expanded the video of Díaz to show that the thermostat on the wall is at 17 degrees when we are all being asked to contain climate change.

All ironed, including those who by now have not known what a woman is, and then they will say that politicians have an answer for everything, because it must be for algorithmic mathematics, but in the end, let’s go to the flist-flast, for which there is even an account on Twitter, but these are of their own making, they are many hours in front of the screen. We will try to follow a chronological order, but don’t worry, no one will be left out.

The first iron was taken away, around the beginning of the campaign, Irene Montero, off the lists due to weight or perhaps due to the weight of his ministry and his laws, you should ask Díaz, we admit that right now we don’t remember if anyone has done it in the campaign. The networks may forget her, but we never will.

Second flist-flast for Sánchez, in the already famous Atresmedia debate. What can we add? The networks gave him a loser and that’s enough. Then it was time for the one identified as the winner, Núñez Feijóo: “liar”, said the networks, and they must have got something right because he himself corrected himself, or something similar. The blow from the iron was so strong that it caused him to have a lumbago, which, ahem, prevented him from attending the four-way debate that ended in three and the voters with a nosebleed.

Yolanda Díaz is now putting the iron in this debate, figuratively speaking, and Santiago Abascal, Vox candidate, succumbs to the steam: “Calm down, don’t be so aggressive”, a phrase that has had a strong response on the networks: “Patri arcadas”, we read in a tweet. Indirect iron for Bildu: agreed with Vox in a vote, the labor reform. And does that hurt, or not, you’ll have to ask them.

There are more ironies for everyone who passed by, including the media or the people of (left) culture: their manifesto barely got any traction, which is the worst thing that can happen to you on the networks.

Let’s see what’s the worst that can happen to the rest of us.
