Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

As a Mexican person, I wish people actually knew how she actually governs. Nice headlines, but holy fuck is it disconnected from reality
Explain please.
Centralizing power. Dismanteling independent regulatory agencies of transparency (INEAI) and COFECE, the federal economic competition commission, basically the antitrust authority. Overhauling the court system to make judges be elected. Using the military as police. Reforming the national electoral institute to now be partisan.
Lack of medicine & supply stocks at hospitals (official figures are always 80%, but many reported cases of lack of vaccines, OTC meds, diabetes meds, chemotherapy.)
Her close ties to narcos, etc. Violence is at an all time high. Corruption is even worse.
The national debt has never in the history of the country been higher. Neither has the deficit.
One thing that party is phenomenal at is bot farms tho.
EDIT: as for this new work reform, 40 hours doesn't mean 2 days of a week. We will still have to work 6 days a week. Less hours yes ofc ... but for many people in CDMX will still have to ride hours on the metro every Saturday.
As I said, reality is very different from the pretty headlines. And basically she totally caved to the business owners
Didn't she make universal healthcare?
We have had universal healthcare care since the 1940s. 2 separate systems for private workers and another for private workers. What she did was merge them and force us to use an app to access the health system
interesting, okay
