So far her lead has gone up to 19% and is slowly climbing. In the last elections in 2017 however, the National Party ended up “winning” (i.e. defrauding the shit out of the elections) after being on the losing end of an “irreversible trend”.

Here’s the official count for anyone interested.

68 candidates and party activists have been killed since the primary elections were announced last September

1. They were not mostly conscripts. Most, including this guy, volunteered.
2. If they were drafted, not fighting is still an option.

Americans act like getting drafted gave their stormtroopers carte blanche to do whatever they wanted. Imagine explaining to the loved ones of those two Vietnamese comrades that you’re sorry they died, but you might have had to go to prison for a little while if you didn’t run off to murder them in their own homes.

“American patriotism” is rooted in American exceptionalism and white supremacy. Either you ignore the toxicity of the American empire in the hope of creating some kind of broad coalition with fascists, or you recognise that any leftist “patriotism” is just repackaging solidarity with the working class.

Left-wing nationalism doesn’t exist for coloniser states of the imperial core.

It’s used a quite a bit for dependent clauses. Things like “Este es el señor, cuya hermana es ingeniera”/“This is the man whose sister is an engineer”. It’s not very frequently used, but it’s not particular to any region.

La Llorona.

Probably the best Central American film out there, La Llorona takes the classic latam folk tale of the weeping woman and gives it a political edge. An aging ex-dictator (based on Efraín Ríos Montt) believes he has evaded justice, but is haunted by the ghost of an indigenous woman killed during the genocide he oversaw. It’s particularly timely given the indigenous-led protests in Guatemala at the moment, and the ongoing prosecution of the perpetrators of the dictatorship’s war crimes.

Completely unrelated, but “agua” isn’t actually masculine, it just takes “el” because it begins with a stressed “a” sound (like el hacha, el águila). That’s why you say “agua fría”, not “agua frío”.
