idk why there isn't an AMLO thread especially considering he won. Am I blind? I might be blind. Anyway he won an outright majority for the first time of anyone in mexico since 1988

Why in the gently caress do your stupid lovely north american countries have the leader wait months before taking power thats insanely stupid. You loving morons

Because we're large countries geographically and it historically took a few months to get all the cabinet people to the capitol.

Every time I see Goatse, I think of Maureen. That's the last thing I saw. Before I blacked out. The sight of that man's anus.

No one cares about AMLO because he's another neoliberal shill that will change nothing. He just coasted on rhetoric like Obama.

The comparisons between AMLO and Obama seem really spot-on. A candidate that was able to rouse a lot of faith and enthusiasm, but in the end things won't change that much. I hope I'm wrong though.

amlo has a lot longer track record of being FAR to the left of Obama. we will see how he actually governs but that isnt a really fair comparison yet

at least expectations for AMLO are super low. Mexicans expect their president to be a corrupt neoliberal so they're never disappointed

His main actions since the election have been to go around to big businesses and tell them how pro business he's going to be.

AMLO is going to be the president Obama wanted to be imo

He's definitely become more moderate recently, but his prowess and power will hopefully mean he gets poo poo done. Obama was a neophyte dipshit, AMLO is already accomplishing poo poo while waiting to become president.

The pensions for ex-presidents are already eliminated and afaik the wages for politicians have already been lowered.

Mexican pols were making $120k to $220k a year. Mexican workers often make as little as $8k a year.

Hopefully you guys won’t be on the brink of electing a fascist scumbag in 15 years
