Serious upheaval in Peru. Police killed at least two protesters and the entire ministry resigned. Apparently the Peruvian constitution says ministers can be charged with the crimes of the govt unless they resign immediately, so they all did. Interim govt might be over after just days in power.

Not a disappointment at all. He's doing the things he said he'd do, and while he is not perfect, he's still miles ahead of all the previous neolibs.

It makes me realize that in an alternate reality, US chuds would be complaining that Hillary is doing too many press conferences, unlike the very presidential Trump who retreats to his bathroom to tweet hot takes

I disagree a lot with this. hes been a huge disappointment for me. congress hasnt passed any good laws regarding gay marrigae or marijuana legalization or any of the other gimmes that should have been a day 1 thing. his management of the coronavirus has been a complete disaster. same insane disregard for it as trump but we didnt even get a check. we havent gotten a single loving peso in relief money and the country is headed towards complete economic disaster. since AMLO refuses to increase taxation the money for his new programs had to come from other social programs which were just brutally gutted with no regard to their importance so we are seeing poo poo like little kids with no cancer medicine or people in poor areas dying of preventable diseases

beyond that his support is just being eroded by one unenforced error after another. the latest thing with flooding is a perfect example. hes on loving tape saying he purposefully flooded the poor areas which just on its face looks incredibly bad. theres no relief money so the whole thing is just an ongoing disaster that looks horrible for him and its all probably because he thought he knew better than anyone else. at this rate AMLO will strangle leftism in Mexico for a generation

and to have literally no base whatsoever to do anything when elected

it is like winning one of those singing reality shows: out of 20+ seasons, one or two actually managed to have some sort of actual career afterwards because turns out they weren't much without a massive media buzz and an artificial catapult

Didn't Guilherme Boulos get catapulted to second place in the São Paulo election because of meme stream magic? Maybe that Chilean communist candidate should try playing Among Us

lol no, Boulos has been a frontline activist for the homeless workers' movement for what, 20+ years now? He is quite internet savvy in a genuine way which certainly has helped him a lot with younger voters, but him joining PSOL gave that party one hell of a boost exactly because of the combination of street organization/outreach with clever internet use to bring the poorer youth of São Paulo into their platform

but elsewhere, they are sucking hard and they can't crack outside metropolitan regions in most of the country. Hell, PT demobilized as it is had a very strong showing in the countryside and scored important victories, because it is literally the only option that is remotely leftist
