President Sheinbaum.
Not “President Claudia”.
good job Mexico, you would think this should be the standard behaviour everywhere
I’m glad this isn’t standard behaviour. To be clear, 37 other candidates were murdered. Leaving this final one the pick of the cartels as the survivor.
Imagine having 37 candidates murdered in the USA for an election and calling for it to be standard behavior lolz
Nice! Congratulations Mexico! 🇲🇽 🍾🥂
RIP
How much does the parliament count among the cartells?
This is amazing for the world. Good job Mexico.
She’s the same party as the incumbent and the results were a blow out. She got a majority in a three man race, those guys didn’t stand a chance.
I mean, you couldn’t source a link to a tweet yourself and had to share a reddit post on reddit’s competing platform?
x is not open to non x users! So it is a no no
Plus using the competing platform bandwith is the better form of warfare anyway
Those are pretty good points. Still, you had to participate in Reddit in order to find that story.
The point is that news organizations, reporters, etc. need to start using fediverse platforms so we’re not stuck still using Xitter and Reddit. Moreover, a source from a reputable news outlet would be preferred over social media.
I post around 5-10 link per day to feed the fediverse, Some of them come from reddit. Actually , despite all the good intention the fediverse is a dead place compared to reddit. But dont worry, when I read something worthwhile here, I dont post it on reddit, I have no account there.
I see plenty of content in my feed on lemmy. I don’t think it’s dead.
She’ll be dead in 6 months probably
If she made deals with the cartels to be alive this long I doubt it
Now the GOP is really hating Mexico.
Well I hope she survives. One thing going for her is that Claudia is pretty much like Karen here in the US. If you had a Claudia at your school, she was probably either really fat and annoying or had the biggest chest possible and was the teacher’s pet so she could go smoke with her boyfriend during recess.

Generalizations, ableism, sexism all in one comment. Well done 👍
Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency
Edit: don’t forget the fatphobia!
But que es ableismo? Sorry but Mexican Wikipedia requires payment.
What’s the ableism in the comment? Sincere question because I thought I knew what it was but can’t spot any here so I must be ignorant.
It doesn’t have to mean anything! It gets the people going
No. I’m ignorant. I thought body-shaming (fat-shaming) was ableist. I researched it and found I was wrong. You are correct.
Gracias 🙏😁. The juro que me Dio trabajo. Pero me salio! Osea, suena chingon.
i tought i heard somewhere about her being a fascist? what are her proposals for mexico, what you guys like about her?
i tought i heard somewhere about her being a fascist?
Without any background or context or evidence on that accusation, I am hesitant to accept “I thought I heard somewhere” .
Actual fascists and nazis have been projecting that accusation onto their opponents for a while now.
so is she fucking good or not? what are her proposals? what is your opinion? give me good context for someone who isnt a mexican and isnt following their elections then.
god, its so hard to know the actual opinions of people about politics on a lib instance.
Well fuckin’ teach me then!!
Lol. Seriously though, why do you feel so aggressively entitled to have others educate you? You’re clearly ignorant of the answers you’re looking for but you’re disrespecting others for your lack of knowledge. Idk, just something I noticed - your cross and whatnot
i literally just asked for someones opinion. why am i a nazi for asking?
I don’t think anyone called you a nazi; you’re assuming that.
You need to work on your ability to communicate effectively with others. I don’t think you yourself would react positively/the way you wish others would, if someone spoke/wrote to you that way. Literally no one owes you anything - even a response. A response from someone more knowledgeable than ourselves, especially on this platform, is generous and something to appreciate. If you’re ok with responses from people that don’t care about things like being respectful, carry on and ignore everything I said
some guy came to throw empty implications at me for a question.
and now again instead of starting a conversation you came to start an argument with me because of not wanting to answer, yet you are here full of yourself telling me off with some wall of text.
if you don’t want to talk about the actual topic, you could easily have bothered to say nothing instead.
this thread spawned nothing of value and i’m not gonna bother anymore, thanks.
Fair enough. Stay angry, buddy. Happy learning
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.
Guessing she’s still around because the cartels want her around. Not sure how good this is.
She was selected and placed there as a mere puppet of current president amlo. México is indeed a narco governement but people who don’t actuallly experience it first hand living it every day think that this facade is true. She was married to a guy who was investigated for embezzlent but got off the hook because of political contacts. Her father was a chemist who owned a solvent factory (he has passed away and she inherited the business) with very sketchy practices regarding toxic waste management. Factory is still hers and it still operating under the same principles.
Probably the same reason the whole party is still around. It would be awesome to get a real input from someone who lives in Mexico (preferably a normal person and not a summer beach home/mansion owner who pretends to live like normal people do), but honestly don’t know how likely they are to lurk here on Lemmy…surely there is at least one among us?
My skepticism stems mostly from the “popularity” of former president, supposedly reaching some 80%? Sounds pretty good if it’s genuinely true, but it’s eerily approaching fabled 90-100% authoritarian levels.
Mexican here.
As you say, Mexico is a bit divisive about her, many calling her just a mere puppet of current president López Obrador and worrying about her not doing that much when she was state governor.
And many of her claims about feminism, ecologism, pro-Palestina positioning, are a bit weird, in respect of her former position and the little things she did in regard those.
What worries me personally rn is that legislative power will also be at her mercy. If she wants to do any change to Constitution (as Lopez Obrador already had tried many times), little to nothing will be able to stop her. For better or for worse.
What’s that last part about she changing the constitution? How could no one be able to stop her?
Mexico, just as USA, has three branches in government. Two of them are elected by popular vote (President and Congress) and the other one by internal vote (Supreme Court).
In the past, Lopez Obrador tried to change Constitution via reforms on various subjects. A couple of them were so controversial that divided the Congress in two: those of his party vs. those of other parties. The latter won just for a bit for the super-majority requirement for that type of reform.
Aside from that, the Supreme Court also didn’t support some of those reforms. So, just as any authoritarian figure would do against their opposition, Lopez Obrador intended to change how the Supreme Court elects its magisters and judges, turning it into another popular vote branch (which he could control just as with Congress).
Back to the present, Sheinbaum will have that super-majority in Congress that Lopez Obrador didn’t. That could allow her even reforms to the Supreme Court, effectively disappearing any opposition to whatever reform they wanted to pass.
So… let’s just hope she has good intentions.
Oh My good lord you guys are screwed
Thanks, appreciate it
She is a puppet of the current president, she was apponted by himself
That said, the opposition was also a woman but she was an unknown and 3 parties with different views allied to launch her as candidate
The party is projected to have qualified majority of the Congress and maybe senate so they’ll be able to do a bunch of stuff so that may be worrying
They have done a lot of good stuff but also they are full of corruption like cancelling a great airport that still needs to be paid and building a shitty one very far away that no one wants to use and that interferes with the operation of the other airport so it doesn’t really help with congestion
Sheinbaum is a climate scientist so I’m curious about who she’ll appoint to the energy commission because the current government is all-in on carbon
First question how is she a puppet. Second question, and the Congress, what might be worrying about it?
-
The president was thoroughly involved in the process of selecting the party’s candidate. Claudia’s campaign was that she’ll continue with AMLO’s plan
-
With super majority they can make changes to the Constitution
Same thing with Biden lol. Obama interfered hard to get him elected during the primary. He’s not great, but he’s been surprisingly better than Trump (in every way but the genocide thing and immigration) so hopefully she’s better than expected, too!
That’s never good. It’s basically waiting to be a monarchy in all but name. Look no further than Venezuela and North Korea
-
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!
Morena is a staunchly anti-liberal party, they’d never have a chance in the US.
Id love for Bernie to get a real chance
