    It’s mostly lower level candidates that get killed, really (mayors, etc). And geez, I remembered hearing 30. It just keeps climbing

      I mean, a dozen political candidates of any level being murdered in one year is a lot, and they tripled that shit.

        People were praising Mexico, saying “I wish this was the standard in the US”

        Do they want 37 political deaths (and rising) every year? It sounds so sketchy. How can they be sure she was even the people’s choice?

          I don’t think I ever heard anybody say I wish this was the standard in the US, but whoever said that may be misinformed on the political process in Mexico.

          As far as I understand, this lady is cool, does seem like the People’s choice, there are no established connections between her and the cartels or any kind of corruption.

          I’m excited to see how she does

          Depends on the country. Mexican presidential candidates still get assassinated, but the presidents themselves have security.
