Wait, after all those murders and sabotaging during the elections the people still managed to elect a really worthy president (seems like the best president I’ve seen in all the countries the last years)??
Wow, maybe I should move to Mexico
Congratulations Mexico!
Edit: Well, hmm:
Legitimate question: Who exactly is it that won’t attend her inauguration? Were they invited, but refused to attend? Who else from the US is going?
Also, congrats to Mexico! sounds like a great choice for a president!
Yeah, I’d be interested in how many people go to the inauguration of other countries heads of state.
Like, my best guess is that it’s a dig at, like, Gov Abbott, but I agree that I don’t think I’d expect him to, even if he was a Democrat.
Yeah I’m confused as to why that sentence was in the announcement.
Also, is it normal for them to attend, or are we just making this great Mexico news about America?
I’m going to move to Mexico I guess. Here in The Netherlands, as well as most of the European countries, right wing extremism is on the rise. Who would have thought it would be Mexico to show we don’t have to live in a dystopian shit show.
Please do so, there is nothing more we love here in LATAM as clueless gringos arriving to be easily robbed
Ha! Jokes on you! I’m poor because I have to spend 1900 euros per month on rent alone so there’s nothing to rob me of. You can’t even rob me of my dignity anymore.
Jokes aside, I’m aware of the major issues Mexico has. I’ve never been there but I would love to visit as it’s a beautiful country. But I’m too chicken to go due to the high crime rate etc. And tickets are too expensive, I wasn’t joking about having no money because my decent salary is being sucked up completely by rent, taxes, bills, insurances and food.
But I’m glad Mexico has elected a leader I could only dream of. I hope she can make a change towards better. Or at least, I hope she is what she looks like. I mean, is she really good or only looks like that (like the president of India). At least she looks like Merkel + + +
Bro spends in a month more than a local spends in a year and then says he is poor, thinking he has nothing to lose because he lost his “dignity” lmao
Here getting robbed is getting murdered. I suppose you may be entitled to say you have nothing to lose after that
I need to spend that much for basics, like food and a roof over my head. I’m basically a slave, I need to work most of my life without being able to build up anything. No saving, buying a house, etc.
But I’m aware I live in one of the wealthiest countries, where I do not have to fear anything no matter where I go. I’m aware I’m extremely lucky to have been born here. I’ve seen how life can be different, when I went on deployment to the Middle East and Africa. I’ve been to horrible places and have seen horrible things.
But life here is extremely expensive. We make more money, but in the end we have nothing left after we payed all the bills to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. I don’t have much to lose, as I’m depressed AF, alone as my wife left me, stuck with PTSD from when I was in the military, unable to enjoy life anymore somehow. So a holiday in Mexico where I snort loads of cocain with a bunch of hookers before I get robbed and killed doesn’t sound so bad really.
Please do so, I’m sure it will be worth it haha
I wish hera long, happy, productive career, really
In October 1991, Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari went to Stanford University to give a talk on the benefits of Latin American neoliberalism, but was met with a demonstration against it. The angry college girl holding the sign with the inscription “Fair Trade and Democracy Now” in English is the current president-elect of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum
En octubre de 1991 el presidente mexicano Carlos Salinas de Gortari fue a la Universidad de Stanford a para dar una charla sobre las bondades del neoliberalismo latinoamericano, pero se encontró con una manifestación en su contra. La chica universitaria enojada que sostiene el cartel con la inscripción “Comercio justo y Democracia ahora” en inglés es la actual presidenta electa de Méxi
co, Claudia SheinbaumAnd the picture from 1991 is in black and white?
GTFO
Edit: seems I was wrong in my assumptions
It’s obviously scanned from a newspaper. Not everything is a conspiracy…
Edit: Found another picture:
They still had newspapers in the 90s. And some pictures you can only find on old newspaper micro film. So they’re in black and white. Even color printed newspapers would catalog their back issues in black and white.
color printed newspapers would catalog their back issues in black and white
Why? It’s not expensive to set one copy aside and keep 365 of them a year into some cold dry storage, right?
More leaders like her please, looking at you US
Edit but yeah being technically capable aside, many eugenists were PhDs and philosophers. Sam Harris comes to mind as he is a racist and a sophist with lots of academic qualifications. So yeah, ethics and morals also matter greatly. Mexico seems to have lucked out, good for them!
President Sheinbaum.
Not “President Claudia”.
How the hell did Mexico get a Jewish president before the USA? We need to step up our game.
But also good on her and on Mexico. She sounds exactly like the sort of person I’d want running my country.
they also approved gay marriage and socialized medicine before we did & do
She has Jewish ancestry, but she’s said she does not practice religion.
Hell, how did Mexico get a female president before the USA wtf? Even South Korea did (okay that one sucked but it’s still baffling regarding the US)
Mexico City had the world’s largest population of Jewish folks before Israel was created, iirc.
I had the impression that people running for office in Mexico were being assassinated a lot, if she is real force for good then I hope she’s safe
That happened in small cities and some hot states. They’d never dare to attack directly a Presidential Candidate.
Is this the first Nobel laureate to run a country? How bloody amazing. Well done Mexico!
Barak Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate nine months after his inauguration. Subsequently, he used a drone to murder an American citizen, among a litany of other atrocities.
Meanwhile Lê Đức Thọ refused the prize as it was shared with FUCKING KISSINGER.
Best thing Obama did was pulling out of Iraq, finally leaving an illegal war, so hats off for that. But all his talk about envisioning a world free of nuclear weapons and then not even attempting disarmament of the US ones kinda seems weak.
I think his attempts to reestablish new diplomacy with Cuba and Iran were good.
Then Trump fucked it all up and Biden doesn’t seem to give a shit about going back.
Kudos to Obama for actually following through, but the withdrawal from Iraq had a deadline set by the U.S. Status of Forces Agreement signed by Bush, per the request of the Iraqi government.
Incoming CIA sponsored coup/assassination.
She appears to be a Social Democrat, not a Socialist, so she should be safe as long as she plays ball with the US, rather than pushing back against US Imperialism.
Social democracy is a subsection inside the umbrella of Socialism. So she’s both.
It is not. Social Democracy is a subsection inside the umbrella of Liberalism.
The division on whether social democracy is a socialist movement or not pretty much coincides with the division between reform and revolution as means to attain socialism.
A conundrum with nearly a definitive answer, at this point.
Yeah… Still, considering only my self interest I am really glad I am living in a social democracy opposed to many of the other hellscapes forged by capitalism.
Social democracy gets some things right, for all its faults.
How can she be president? She doesn’t look like she’s about to die of old age
The important thing is she didn’t die from the Cartels. Do you know how many politicians have been taken out by cartels in the last year. Just recently in April down in Chipas a cartel got 538 politicians to resign all on the same day and murdered 38.
To be a politician in Mexico from any party you need blessings from the right people.
Why the hell can’t we have candidates this awesome on the ballot here in the US?! 😿
You have Bernie Sanders, AOC
Yes, and I voted for Bernie when he ran and I would absolutely vote for AOC if/when she does run. Just… the choices in this election cycle are wanna-be, half-demented dictator-for-life vs a “moderate” Democrat who, while he’s gotten a surprising amount done, isn’t exactly renowned for pushing the corporations hard on climate change.
Yeah but they’re basically relegated to side show characters by their party.
bc mexico is actually democratic with significant proportional representation and not the weird arse shit merica calls “democracy”?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_in_Mexico#Current_Elected_Federal_Offices
Yeah 37 assassinated candidate runner ups being murdered speaks volumes about that
They were not all runner-ups, you’re falling for misinformation bullshit (and stop upvoting misinformation, people!). The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.
Which is absolutely fucking horrifying in and of itself, don’t get me wrong, but what you’re saying is just not true.
Hmm… so it’s not the electoral system that needs reform… Murcia just needs to murder more candidates?!
My first thoughts,
U.S.A.: Can we have that president?
U.S. Govt.: No, you have president at home
Biden
But seriously this is awesome to see, It’s nice to see some uplifting news.
Don’t need to point out the fact she’s Jewish. Nobody cares. Just do a good job.
You. You are the reason they need to point it out.
Just move on. You think no one cares, but I care infinitely less about your comment on it than I do learning the background of an elected official, especially given the situation in Gaza.
