          Sheinbaum is better than those two, but not as much as you think. Her mayorship and her party have good relations with Israel, cooperated with the US in violence against migrants, and silenced protestors.

        Yes, and I voted for Bernie when he ran and I would absolutely vote for AOC if/when she does run. Just… the choices in this election cycle are wanna-be, half-demented dictator-for-life vs a “moderate” Democrat who, while he’s gotten a surprising amount done, isn’t exactly renowned for pushing the corporations hard on climate change.

          Honestly, the stuff he’s gotten done over his career has been life changing for me. I hate that I have to give him credit for legalizing cannabis, but here we are.

      You don’t like deciding which person who will be the oldest president we’ve ever had for president is interesting?

        Yeah, it’s a pretty frustrating time to be leaning left. And given the chaos Trump would unleash, it’s not like there is any choice at all about whether or not to vote for Biden… 😿

        Yeah 37 assassinated candidate runner ups being murdered speaks volumes about that

          They were not all runner-ups, you’re falling for misinformation bullshit (and stop upvoting misinformation, people!). The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.

          Which is absolutely fucking horrifying in and of itself, don’t get me wrong, but what you’re saying is just not true.

          Hmm… so it’s not the electoral system that needs reform… Murcia just needs to murder more candidates?!

          Yeah, kinda wondering why the cartels want her in office. Maybe she’s less good than she appears.

          Also wondering why anyone would want to lead Mexico given that angering the cartels will get you cartel’d…

            I’ll tell you what I told the previous commenter: They were not all runner-ups, that’s misinformation. The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.

            Which is also disgusting, of course, but no, the cartels did not kill off all her competition to get her into office.

            Maybe they don’t want her in the office, maybe they didn’t want the other guys they offed
