Trump won’t go for a third term. Republicans and their corporate donors don’t want to lose the appearance of democracy. What will happen is trump will choose his successor earlier, and will campaign with him extensively. You’ll end up with a party dictatorship, just like what your government did with Mexico and PRI
Last year we took a trip to the Riviera Maya, and my mom was really excited to show me the coral reefs. When we arrived they were all bleached, and you had to be lucky to see any kind of tropical fish. We have killed our world.
As far as I understand Vizcarra (the couped president) was part of a different party than Congress majority. He dissolved Congress in 2019 and called for elections but his party didn’t win majority. Now Congress majority leader made a call of no confidence, something you can do according to the Peruvian constitution, and it went through because his party has Congress majority. This is just a fight between bourgeois parties though. Another thing that is relevant is that through libertarian policies Peru had a 30% rate of self employment, a lot of which was app workers. The pandemic ravaged the gig economy, therefore Peruvian economy, so there was not much love for Vizcarra.
Ugh it cringes me to remember when I thought The Atlantic was leftist media. I was such a lib.
Mexico has 173,000 extra deaths compared to last year. COVID is decimating our country but our president keeps downplaying the crisis. Our governor was praised for his quick action on locking down our city (Guadalajara), but a month and a half in, they changed their strategy to “personal responsibility”, which is going to kill us all.
Instead of waiting for Dems to blame the left, we should blame the democratic party for considering black and Latinx voters a monolithic bloc, and not offering anything to us.
Trump won FL because he targeted the Cuban, Venezuelan and Nicaraguan votes with anti-communist rethoric, and it worked because democrats only said “you need to vote blue because the other guy is bad” while not offering anything
What I think the site needs is an option to automatically open posts in a new tab. I hate looking at a post and when I return to the main page I’ve lost track of where I was and what I had already read.
