I should think before posting
The second debate is on right now and watching it is torture. None of them answer anything they're asked, and they're attacking AMLO again.

Can't wait for all the glorious memes tho.

pretty much the same thing as the first, no one said anything of substance

though i did get a hearty lmbo when the loving PRI/PVEM candidate had the gall to lecture someone else about using party funds to enrich themselves and their families

So hey, I've read that AMLO has written something like 16 books (Amazon lists 9 of them), including a few about Mexico's elite and the state of the country. Have you guys read them? I feel like picking up one of those once I get the chance.

"well i know AMLO hasn't read them!! got'em"

Kinda worried about AMLOs rhetoric now.

He keeps pinning everything on corruption. And while he's right that it's a huge problem at every level, you can't lead a real transformation without wealth redistribution.

Maybe he's shunning the economically leftist talk to not raise too much opposition, but his moderation is worrisome. I'm glad he's not a fringe candidate anymore, but it seems like it's coming at the great cost of keeping the status quo.

lmao if you thought AMLO was going to nationalize anything, he'd get loving deposed or assassinated if he tried

as much as I'd like ~FULL COMMUNISM NOW~, AMLO getting elected is not going to achieve anything close to that

but hopefully his election will pull politics left-ward so that future governments can actually do some good for once in this hellhole of a country

literally every single mexican politician is a corrupt shithead

my dad had a couple of highschool friends who became bureaucrats

one of them went whole hog into the local PRI establishment and is obscenely rich now, even though he's only ever had bullshit administrative party jobs that aren't supposed to pay much. he could somehow afford a private plane on his party salary. truly mysterious where that money came from
:thunk:

the other is more of a bureaucrat type, he worked at a government agency for decades until he became director and spent most of his time refusing bribes and returning "gifts". the businessmen who wanted to get on his good side would literally deliver poo poo like TVs and thousand dollar wine bottles to his government office, openly, not even trying to hide it. once they figured out he wouldn't bend, they started threatening him and his family, until he loving had enough and quit his job and emigrated to the US

what im saying is everyone who goes into Mexican government or politics will be either consumed by corruption or driven out as soon as they get any real power
