Two mayoral hopefuls in the Mexican city of Maravatío have been gunned down within hours of each other, as experts warn the June 2 national elections could be the country’s most violent on record.
As shitty as American politics can be, we should be very thankful that overt violence against political candidates, journalists, volunteers, etc. has not (yet) been normalized. I can’t imagine being involved with Mexican politics, especially anti-drug/anti-corruption reform, with the threat of cartel retaliation hanging over you and your family. Strong respect to those who tough it out.

I would just focus on leaving.
There’s no point in trying to change Mexico because they don’t want to change. To them, gangbanging is sexy.
All of them feel this way?
All of them. This person knows every Mexican.
Ay caramba
