as terrible as the UK is, i feel like any british person who looks at America and thinks it’s a good idea to relocate to an even crueler society is probably a bastard in some way or another

John Oliver's biggest crime is still that's he's a tired, unfunny hack, but the fact that so many Libs get their news from him really pisses me off.

Oliver’s done some interesting stuff before, but went full on neoliberal at some point and he wasn’t funny enough to carry his bad politics.

Oliver said AMLO is like Trump because he makes big promises and uhh because his policies aren't concrete enough.

Johnny is a very smart boy with no ideology, only facts.

The coalition includes a Catholic conservative party. It definitely is a thing, but I don't know how consequential they are.

AMLO supporters are overwhelmingly PRD and PT voters, workers, students, young people.

Nobody knows what populism is. Even the original Populists from over 100 years ago have their ideology brushed over in history classes

They're obviously smart, hard working and overall better than anyone because of their riches right? I mean, it's probably in the bible or something.

Jokes aside, there's a ton of videos of guys cancelling, burning or straight up stealing ballots. Goddamn we should be united, not fighting like idiots.

Preliminary results are 42% AMLO, 28% baldy mcbaldface (Anaya), 18% for Meade and 6% Bronco, final results are in about 3 hours. I'm really surprised their crappy server isn't making GBS threads itself with the amount of people refreshing their page.
