Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

Is this the current atmosphere in Mexico? I feel that Mexico has more potential than the US does.

well, we have a new hegemonic party like in the old times and the drug war is still ongoing, but the right and neoliberalism are demonised and seeing as fringe plus left ideas are becoming more popular so i say 60% bloomer 40% doomer, definitely better than our northern neighbors.

how are things in guatemala?

Isn’t Morena significantly better than the PRI and PAN were?

Guatemala has seen a strong return of leftism. The problem is that most “socialists” are social-Democrats inspired by Bernie Sanders of all people. I get he was popular here but it’s sad how we look to a foreign senator instead of reflecting off our own leftist politicians.

Still, I’d much rather have them around than the far-right fascists that have been ruling for decades. It’ll just be a while before any form of radical leftism gains popularity at the national level.

they are a 5/10 compared to the 1/10 that PAN and PRI, maybe sheinbaum will be better, being ruled by berniecrats sounds bad but i can see how they are better than any neolib or fash
