New dictatorship just dropped

70 years of PRI Rule: squidward-chill

6 years of literally admitted in the headline limited success from a party that formed in 2012: were-gonna-kill-you

Ms. O'Grady received a bachelor's degree in English from Assumption College and an M.B.A. in financial management from Pace University

Big surprise the WSJ opinion writer on the Americas is unaware of the perfect dictatorship
- Before her work for The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), she was an options strategist for Advest, Thomson McKinnon Securities then Merrill Lynch, where she worked for 10 years.
  
  Wonder if that could have any bearing on her thoughts.
  
  She is also editor of "The Americas," a weekly column that appears every Monday and deals with politics, economics and business in Latin America and Canada while also serving as a member of the board of directors at Liberty Fund.
  
  She is well known for her positions regarding classical liberalism, her frontal rejection of leftist governments in the Americas and for being in favor of the legalization of drug trafficking
  
  She has been characterized by her strong position against progressive governments
  
  lmao
- ASSUMPTION COLLEGE?!?

Mexico only had one party hold the office of president from 1928 until 2000.

I wonder if the WSJ wrote hand-wringing articles about one-party rule at any point during those 72 years.

PRI rulling for 70 years = Democracy

Morena rulling for 6 years = Dictatorship

democracy is when you swap between two parties that are essentially identical every 4 years because the candidates are increasingly incompetent and senile

Mexico elects the same party in two elections: One party state, dictatorship, evil empire. USA: Elects a father then his son. Nearly elects a former president's wife. Regularly elects the same party back to back: Freest land on Earth.

When one party wins two consecutive elections, that's one party rule.

Morena made a dictator in the cupboard and the dictator looked at me

I thought that was a ghoul name if I ever heard one and sure enough, she's on the board of the libertarian organization Liberty Fund and damn, just look at her NATOpedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_O'Grady

What's the deal with this woman? British media is presenting her as a rejection of both the left and the right and seems to support her.

Speak to me like I know very little about Mexico.

She is a socdem, she has some green policies, she has an ok view on gaza war, i wouldnt call her a feminist, i think she is ok on LGBT+ rights, and since she is a founder of Morena she shares most of the ideas from it
- “Contrary to other parties of the left, MORENA has not sought to reduce inequality by increasing taxes on the wealthy. Instead, the party has focused on reducing the pay gap between lower-level employees and high-level government workers salaries, such as politicians and judges through austerity measures. The party announced support for a plan by López Obrador to cut salaries of higher-ranking public officials (including the President), lay off up to 70 percent of non-unionized federal workers, and reduce spending by cracking down on corruption and tax fraud. As Article 94 of the Mexican Constitution prohibits reducing the salary of judges at any time during their appointment in order to maintain judicial independence, judges on the Supreme Court took a 25% pay cut starting in 2019.”
  
  🤢
- So... Why are British media into her?
  
  Instinctually I get pretty sus about things British media are promoting. Twice now I've heard them talk about how she's jewish and I can't help but wonder if that's related to ongoing events in Israel. Does she have a position on Palestine? British media does not mention anyone being Jewish unless it's related to Israel usually.
- Sounds alright
I’m not very good at explaining but she seems pretty based. Her predecessor from the MORENA party has raised the minimum wage and worked on social projects. I highly recommend the episode on this election from the podcast “Getting to the Root of It, with Venus Roots” for a overview of the current situation and some info about her predecessor.

Zapatistas are now the official state party, I don't make the rules

I wish.

The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.

What are the odds of an amerikkkan "intervention" in Mexico? Or will they manage to restrain themselves to focus on China?

The past few years makes me think they won't be able to contain themselves, especially with a worsening climate crisis and climate refugees trying to make their way north.

so long as nafta and other agreements remain unchanged no chance i think
With that behavior like that...

Let's say theoretically someone be funny and make a plan where Mexico bleeds U.S.A, like how Afghanistan bled the U.S.S.R?

Of course, this is a last resort option, if all else plans goes to shit

Remember a Mexican on Reddit defending Taiwan and laughing when I said Mexico throughout most of the 20th century was a one party state. Probably a Mexican-American fed with how quickly he deleted his account after a few more callouts.
