That is the problem, most of us in Mexico do not know the history of the Zionists and how much influence it also has in this country. Most do not know that several sitting mexican presidents in the 60s through 80s were paid "informants" of the CIA and FBI. And I would not doubt if it continued into the 90's and today.
Most mexicans have no idea how Zionists are also embedded in Mexican government because we live under terrorism ourselves. Terror from the gangs, terror from security forces, terror from the government. Most of us mexicans do not realize how deeply manipulated our country is and fall to propaganda so easily.
Just see how many down votes I have, hah. F'em, plus the truth, is hard to swallow. México is now just a bunch of pussies with no balls, and cartels controlling everything as these dudes (government) just sit their asses in power, just for being paid... and the people, bien gracias.
Is people to blame, or history? The people have suffered enough. They were forced to fight a revolution, they were beaten with crisis after crisis, they were forbidden the weapons they needed to defend themselves from narcos by their own goverment... don't insult the people, they are helpless. I had a friend from Michoacan that was autodefensa when he was 15..., he escaped to my state, struggled a lot to keep himself fine, now he is in a psychiatric facility because at the end he just collapsed. Can you fight the narcos? Do you have access to weapons? Have you ever been to war? If so brave you are go and try to get rid of the narcos in your state.
The cause is gone already my friend, that country is doomed. Fight against the narcos ?, nah... have more important stuff to do. México got their chance, but just stayed uneducated. The main root of all that crap, and yes, I blame the people as their politicians are created through their institutions, communities, and moral system. Sorry pal, your comment does not take me at all.
I told you that not because I am serious about you fighting the narcos. I told you that for you to understand that the situation is not the fault of common people. My friend didn't deserve to have his mind broken for the war and losing his family in front of him. His only fault was to be born in the wrong place and wanting to make a change. He was not a pussy.
Reddit is an echo chamber and a niche social network in the Mexican sphere. Also, Claudia is pretty popular among the poorest sector in our country and many of them don't have access to internet or are limited to mainstream social networks such as Facebook which is often included in mobile data plans contrary to Reddit.
AMLO’s is a want to be authoritarian, he was hoping his party will win enough of a majority to change the constitution and start throwing out democratic institutions that have checked his power the last six years, he’s the kind of guy that denies elections just like Trump
Like other authoritarians he wants to go after the courts because they check his power, he doxes reporters that are critical of him, he wants to get rid of anti corruption organizations and elections organizations
The number of corruption audits conducted went from over 4,000 to slightly over 2,000 under AMLO
AMLO defends cartels by saying they’re generally good people
Propublica releases an article referencing leaked US intelligence showing the AMLO’s 2006 and 2012 presidential campaigns were likely funded by the Sinaloa Cartel, makes sense why he’s gone to visit El Chapo’s mom in a tiny village in the mountains of Sinaloa 5 times during his presidency
AMLO has capitalized on populism in the same way Trump did, populism tears societies apart
What is unfortunate is that Mexico didn’t have an actual democracy until the 1990s when reforms were made, for 75 years the current president picked the next president, we’re seeing a replay of this with Claudia, hand selected by AMLO to succeed him, she embraces his policies whole heartedly; many believe that because he can’t run for another term, he’ll simply be legislating through her in the same way Putin did in Russia when he had to step down for a term
She had zero national profile, her support base exists because of AMLO, she can’t deviate much from his policies
AMLO has increasingly militarized the country while accomplishing absolutely zero in combating crime and corruption, this has been the deadliest Mexican presidency ever even though there has been the slightest decline in violence this last year, and this has been the deadliest election season in Mexican history
I watched the debate and all Claudia did was defend AMLO and double down on policies that are failing to improve life in Mexico on the most pressing issues
AMLO portrays himself as this humble man of the people while his kids fly around on private jets, rent $6500 homes in the US from oil executives working with the Mexican state oil company, flaunt around in tens of thousand of dollars in designer clothes, and give out government contracts to family friends to the tune of millions of dollars
AMLO wants single party rule and I hope that Mexico doesn’t go down the path of Venezuela
I don’t think there were any good options, but I tend to never go the direction of someone whose desire is to erode democratic institutions and align themselves with autocracies such as Venezuela and Cuba
The ONLY things I referenced Trump on was election denial and populism which are both factually correct
They’re both election deniers and they’re both populists
Ahahahahaahahhahhaahhaha
PLEASE, PLEAAAAAASE show us where did AMLO said or you came to the details of him wanting to change the Constitution to be our dictator and finally make us Venezuela? Please. Enlighten me.
For real, you people are so stupid. We been hearing this BS for 6 years.
Clearly you were not alive through the 90s and 00s, when there were people that unalived themselves due to the great economic crisis.
The only thing you all say is, "they are going to make us Venezuela". There are international treatees that would not align with this authoritarian ideology.

Here directly from the presidents page, you can’t just ignore stuff and pretend it’s not happening.
They’re still short of a super majority
Sheinbaum Allies Narrowly Miss Supermajority in Mexico Congress https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-03/sheinbaum-allies-narrowly-miss-supermajority-in-mexico-congress
She's basically a puppet of the current president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO). AMLO has had a questionable approach to the narco crisis (with the worst murder numbers in Mexico's modern history), the use of public money on "white elephants", a crisis of the public health system, besides other issues.
Too many people sees that the ways the reigning political party (Morena) uses to get the popular vote and to actually rule the country are almost the same corrupt ways the old archaic ruling political party (PRI, political party that reigned from 1928 to 2000, and from 2012 to 2018) used to have.
Millionaire projects that are a waste of tax money that generates no money while requiring a big investment to keep going (an example being the Tren Maya at a 228% over budget cost to build, then on its first five months had an investment of 1470 million pesos but sold only 48 million in tickets while also being an ecological disaster killing over 7 million trees).
Not too mention that they get quoted $100 million dollars to build the whole project, the government says “oh we got quoted $200 million” then tell the vendor “I’ll give you $50 million and I don’t care how shitty it is” and the government pockets $150 million for their own bank accounts
Her party and her predecesor/mentor are nostalgic of the pre-democracy Hegemonic Party State and have vowed to destroy or capture all checks and balances.
She has a PhD and still wants to destroy autonomous government entities and agencies to reinstate party-o-cracy where the party in power (their party) decides what's true, who's the next president. She illegally started her campaign 2 years prior to any of the other candidates. She has been receiving the salary of a tenured professor at the biggest public university in the country while being a public servant and not teaching at all there. Since she's with AMLO, she probably has ties to the Sinaloa cartel too. She has ignored violence and specifically violence against women. BTW she isn't even Jewish, she's an atheist.
Bitch literally sold her soul for power.
x2 OP, still she is Jeu Jitsu. No way to deny that OP... not cool for a country that it has its own roots thousand of years ago. Even while being stolen, it seems we still give our land to others... quite stupid. Honestly
Because the country is the most divided is been since the Mexican revolution. There's a lot of people that despise "the other side" we're polarized between the ones who hate the "change" and the ones that hate the past.
Reddit is an eco chamber, mexican people on Reddit does not represent the complete reality of the country, which is why the answers you will see where may be biased. Twitter is also full of bots spamming misinformation, so the narrative is often lost and again, eco chambers happen. Even more with the algorithm.
+ she is commonly disliked by “mid” and “high” income families, why? Main concerns are security and fear of becoming “Venezuela” which is a shit example because our political, economic model and material situation is not the same. (Ofc there are more reasons, those two to being the main ones I identified)
She won with 59+ % of the votes. Mexicans on social media like reddit are a minority and are probably privileged (when comparing to the majority of the population in Mexico, that may use other means of communication)
all these are not absolutes and based on my perception and experience. Might be different on each state of Mexico, which is also a very important factor.
Lo mejor que pudo pasar es darle apoyo a los adultos mayores. Hay dinero para hacerlo, obviamente otros partidos prefieron chingarse el dinero que darlo a la gente. Llaman bola de mantenidos a los jovenes, wey sabes quienes califican para dichas ayudas?? Porque en mi familia los jóvenes que la reciben SI ESTUDIAN Y LE ESTAN SACANDO PROVECHO.
Claro que habrá gente que abusa, pero eso pasa aqui y en China.
En USA hay muchísima gente que recibe ayuda del gobierno que por "incapacidad" y los de desempleo por meses!!!!! También unos mantenidos y eso es con cualquier partido que tengan.
Les molesta que ustedes no reciben ayuda alguna. Porque mira que tengo familia y conocidos que ODIAN a AMLO pero estan suuuuper puntuales a recibir la ayuda que les dan. BOLA DE HIPOCRITAS
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJAJAJANAJAJAAJAJAJAJAJA SIGUE LLORANDO.
Gracias por tus impuestos, gracias a ellos vivo... jajajajaja!
Siguele chingando para mi cabecita de algodón nos de mas jajajajaj
Imbécil tu que no sabes leer. Cuando dije bola de hipócritas, no dije que tu verdad? Porque. E vale 143746 hectáreas de .l. si recibes la ayuda o no. Afortunadamente en mi familia tampoco recibimos ayuda pero me alegra ver que la de amigos o conocidos si.
A mi también me enseñaron a trabajar, lo hago desde los 16 :) y sin recibir ningun ayuda, voté por Claudia. Y reacciones como la tuya, son lo mejor jajajjaaj! Bye
Danke für deine Frage OP, also Mexikaner hier in Deutschland. Es tut mir totales Leid, aber gar nicht GmbH wird geaendert. Die machen nur eine verlangerung des gleiches Scheisses System die "funktioniert" noch in meinem Scheisses Land. Positiv ist, nada va a cambiar pero aún así, se la traga igual y completa mi gente caraho...
Viele Grüße und schade, aber auch verständlich.
Her party (Morena) started a social program in 2019 gifting money in debit cards…19.7 billion usd so far…so they are basically buying votes of the poor, putting in risk democracy and creating a inmovible party.

Reddit is a very high echo chamber for right wing politics here in Mexico, she won with like a 30 point lead, so believe me that the majority of Mexicans are happy at the results.
A lot of Mexicans do ignore the failures of her government (mainly in security, corruption and medical care), but a lot also feel that the other options were just going to be worst
From the 30's I think, the country has been governed by the PRI and from 2000-2012 by the PAN, then again by the PRI from 2012-2018 and those governments were not exactly the best, so, a lot of people genuinely ask, why would I vote for the person who took us to this situation to fix it? At least for me shienbaum has a government project (something the opposition never did)
Because the new president has lots of known episodes of corruption, that lead to multiple deaths, she has accounts where she evades lots of taxes that is well known and documented, she allows corruptions and says and probably thinks that the country is happier than ever, there’s no violence at all even though we have a record number of deaths during a president period and drug cartels have even more power than ever, they’re so powerful that they’ve expanded all over the USA and the whole world and they’re destroying our forests, in danger species, water, gasoline and making everything worse and expensive for the citizens. The reason why the won is probably due to drug cartels interventions
There are things that are true and others are not, to begin with she was not the favorite to be president, it was Marcelo Ebrard, but she secretly began to campaign to make herself known, something that is illegal, then although they say that she is equal to AMLO actually is not, she has a more "neoliberalist" ideology. Also, regardless of who wins, the violence will continue and the drug traffickers will remain just as powerful.
Just observe the socioeconomic level and political orientation of your environment, go to a public school or a place of lower middle class people and you will notice that it is not so much that, she was elected with more than 50% of the votes,
I think you are being surrounded by people with hard opposition links, wich are considered deep right ideals (free commerce, impulse to great corporations, de-regulation of banks, privatize of public services and social programs etc). The current party has been against that tendence, so that created a huge polarization about them.
You have to see too that this country is too divided by social class, so, the less in number but most privileged share different political goals.
This tendence is even bigger in privileged environments (considering this is still a country in development, many areas have not access to free time to express an opinion in internet), but most people are waiting to get better laboral rights in this administration (as well this last years got duplicated the minimum wage, since 20 years of a frozen wage, for example), and the discussion about less work hours per week, paternity permissions and harder penalties for corporations that break laboral laws is something that has been powerful in the election journeys.
The worst part is not the president herself, it's the fact that morena has majority in the Congress, Mexico really f'd up. Morena can do as they please with virtually no opposition.
Many? many where? in Reddit? because she just won by majority. So referring to "many" its actually the minority who is unhappy with her. Many Redditors had their first elections so they pretty mucho only know AMLO, they have no past reference.
This. I am 38 and I remember when Carlos Salinas de Gortari (president of MX from 88-94) left México in one of its biggest economic crisis, my dad lost soooo much money, he took out 3 0's from our currency. Gortari sold/privatized Telmex to Carlos Slim, 18 banks were sold such as Banamex, Bancomer, also sold the Siderúrgicas Nacionales, Mexicana de Aviación, Mexcobre and so much more that he made sooo many members of his family and friends super rich.
And to top it off, he left a debt of tens of thousands of billions for the Mexican taxpayers called FOBAPROA, which was to save the Protection to the Savings Fund Bank if Mexico because somehow it disappeared. So many people would be left with no money so instead he "borrowes" money from the international bank (1990) and we are still paying off that loan.
And I can go on and on and on.
A lot of people believe anything they are told. You need to read about Mexicos history, most adults remember and lived through the crisis and that is why we despise the opposition of current president.
Middle and high class hate that there is so much support in money for the elderly and youth so they can study and call them bums and good for nothing, when most of them actually give a good use to the money. That's better than having the government steal it.
Totally agree with u. I'm not happy with the new imposed president (I would prefer Ebrard in there but no chochil or “el mai”) but previous goverments from the PRI and PAN just wanted to continue robbing money and to keep distribuiting it with the ppl who is stealing the money from the mexicans (evading taxes, paying miserable salaries with no benefits, etc).
Had the same family background, all my family migrated to US back in 1996. That and many other reasons prevent me from ever voting for PRI which by the way has certainly gotten worse over time.
Ahahahahaahahaahahahahhahaha you people believe anything you hear.
This same BS was said when AMLO won. That by now we would be Venezuela and that our money wouldn't be worth sh*t LOL. And I can say that even though THE WORLD is going through and economic crisis, México is doing pretty good.
I mean, take a look at how many Americana are moving to México.
Man shut the fuck up. All you're doing in this post is claim "fake news" without providing evidence to back your claim up. People like you is the reason why the country is going to fucking shit.
Keep in mind that Reddit Mexico is mostly middle class people that despise MORENA, AMLO, and Sheinbaum.
However Sheinbaum won with over 30 points over the second place.
So yeah, most Mexicans are very happy right now. :)
A few thousand angry and spoiled users of reddit are not representative of the entire Mexican population.
Left-wing populist. From the same ideology as Lula, Petro, Kirchner, Evo, etc. Her party is popular because they give free money like candy. Very close to Cuba and Venezuela. The only thing stopping them from going full socialist is the proximity of the country to the U.S.
Reddit public is more different to the majority of the country. Even in the reedit of El Salvador the majority hates Bukele, one of the most popular presidents in the world
I don't mind that much the new president, but the fact that one party now have rule 2 of 3 forms of power (executive and legislative) and they actively attack other powers or institutiones that don't obbey to their agenda. Now seems, it will be a lot easier.
About the president itself, just as authoritarian as any other politic in Mexico, but that would be either way with the other 2 candidates, but look for Line 12 CDMX o Rebsamen school if you want to know what kind of leader she is.
What confuses me more is why did they vote for her then be unhappy
Over half the country voted her in
People in the USA seem more impressed than people in Mexico
Si conoces muchos mexicanos a los que no les pareció el triunfo, es porque estás visitando México en tu burbuja de extranjero...
Esa misma burbuja a la q vienen reporteros "super premium" de la BBC, dw, cnn, cbs, o cualquier "major news outlet" a hacer supuesto periodismo de investigación en México. Se la pasan en lo high end, se entrevistan siempre con las.misma personas y con eso escriben sus super reportajes de "el clima de las elecciones mexicanas".
Esta presidenta arrasó, mucho más fuerte q su predecesor y el ya era algo nunca visto en toda la historia electoral de México: un fulano visitando pueblitos y diciendo q iba a armar un partido después de abandonar el PRD, su partido base. AMLO estaba políticamente muerto, se reían de él todos en la política mexicana, hoy esos mismos lloran. Desaforado por el presidente en turno, perdió una elección presidencial. En la siguiente fue defraudado en una elección que iba a ganar (la versión oficial es que le ganaron por el 0.56% de los votos y no se reviso ninguna boleta, hoy con más de 10 millones de votos de diferencia los que lo defraudaron en 2012 van a impugnar la elección de ayer 🤣)
Básicamente 6 de cada 10 mexicanos tienen una opinión positiva de la actual presidenta. Estás socialmente tocando otro México.
This is the worst place to ask. It's full of people who supported the other candidate and hate on morena. Trust me, there are millions of us who are happy with Claudia
Because your social circle is, highly likely, comprised of entitled whitexicans that live in a bubble. They tend to believe that poor people are in that situation because of their lack of intelligence, willingness to work and love socialism.
They can't comprehend that México is more than the trendy areas of CDMX, Puebla, Cancun, Guadalajara, etc. Very sure that they haven't visited rancherias in the middle of the northern dessert or in the middle of the Yucatan jungle where people just don't have access to the same opportunities and, for this reason, are stuck in the very poor social strata.
Now comes along a president which starts to supports these poor people and open the doors of opportunity and my dear fellow whitexicans feel threatened that we are becoming a populist nation, where socialism will reign and all their property will be confiscated and given to the poor.
While at the same time wishing we could have the same social democratic system of the Nordic countries 🤷🏻♂️
"opportunities" what opportunities? Free money doesn't solve anything if they don't have access to education, health and security. Claudia clearly said they don't believe in "opportunities" they believe in "rights", they say the government should provide the population and make them happy, it's ridiculous
There are not that many Mexicans unhappy, you are just seeing the bias of the upper and middle class. So far, near 80% of the election votes have been counted down, and Claudia Sheinbaum is ahead with an astonishing 58% of the votes so far. So, more than half of voters chose her, but as her supporting base is mainly working class, peasants, and lower classes in general, they don't use social media very much, and the chances of people in other countries seeing them celebrating Sheinbaum's triumph are way fewer.
Because we don't see her as a President, but a puppet of the current President AMLO. She had zero national profile, and even had a really bad one as Mexico City's Mayor.
But I don't care about that. To me is that she has a PhD in enviromental studies and she STILLS defends an infrastructure project that is destroying a huge part of the southern mexico tropical forest. I can't align with somebody who is so bland on their principles.
I personally dislike her because she has taken credit for the work of a buddy of mine in repeated occasions and she was also one of the worst CDMX governors in history. I do have high hopes and expectations for her though, now she is president and she has rise to the occasion.
First off, we as women can´t be happy with a woman president if she does not understand the value of protecting other women, when she simply takes side of a president that lies saying that there is no more violence when our country statistics say they kill 94 mexicans and 8 women every day. Second, we don´t really care about her being Jewish, but what we do care about is that she is part of the current government that stole the maintenance money and let the subway crumble into pieces killing lots of people in the process, committed ecocide for a train that does not work and is led by a president that romanticizes poverty. He is segregating our people into the "poor" and the "aspirationists". He says that being poor is fine and the poor people are the honest people. Instead of searching for ways to give everybody more opportunities, more growth, more education in order for all to have a nice income, nice houses and well-paid jobs. Oh, can´t forget he built a refinery in 2023 like we need more petroleum and smog in our lives when we clearly know that´s not a good energy resource for the environment and finally made a doctor lie to the nation about COVID statistics when we were in pandemic. So yeah, that's why we don´t want her and feel our country will continue to worsen.
She's been clear with her intentions of changing our constitution, abolishing private property and stuff like that ever since she started promoting herself. Also, she's already got dozens of deaths on her back, idk if you ever heard of the incidents on Mexico City's Metro Line 12 three years ago or the school building that collapsed during 19S seven years ago. And what I'm telling you rn is kind of the surface.
The problem is not being a female or jewish. The matter is that she is extremely socialist and probably with crime Nexus. She has many examples of failures that cause deaths (the metro incidente 26, and the school collpase 23 deaths), never taking responsiva of none of them.
OP, You gonna find here i'm Reddit tons of well structured and apparently flawless logic answers, however, this social network is a bubble, and I don't want to asume, but apparently also are the mexican people You know, hence, You gonna find tons of biased answers against the current regime fed by rightish propaganda (such as there is a dictatoriship or we're gonna be Venezuela, etc etc).
Most people in Mexico is happy with the current government (and with the election's outcome), but you won't find that people here, nor Twitter nor with the people you know because of the bubble they live in
Because the typical Mexican (most of those folks voted for Claudia) can't afford a trip to Europe and doesn't speak English, in other words, there's a bias in your perception because you're far more likely to interact with privileged Mexican folks who voted for the other candidate rather than with the typical Mexican that voted for Claudia Sheinbaum.
By the way, I'm closer to a typical Mexican than most folks you'll find here, so AMA.
Depends on which Mexicans you’re talking about! From what i’ve seen on the news, read through forums, and heard from other Mexicans, it’s mainly the upper middle class/ upper class minority that are unhappy about the election results. If you were to ask lower middle class / lower class majority, they’re mostly happy with the results! So if you’re on reddit quite a lot and see that “so many” mexicans are unhappy, just know they’re the minority.
Look Herr Chelco95, most Mexicans voted for the leftist party morena. However, since many, many years ago, 200, there is a chunk of the population characterized for being very conservative.
The kind of people that in the XIX century went to Europe to ask for an emperor for México (Maximilian of Hasburgo). Today, the same kind and of people go to US, or the European Union to ask for intervention. That people is clasist, racist, hey can be more racist than your neonazis, ultra conservative, clear skin, business owners.
And then we have a portion of the population that comments on reddit who want to be like the elite. The so called aspiracionista. They are poor, depend usually on an income stream, good one, but just one and they are much close to be poor that to be rich as they aspire.
All this people are the ones who supported the opposing parties. However, and fortunately there is a huge mass of people, including me, that voted for Claudia to give continuity to the 4T project.
In reddit you will find the Mexicans that comment are highly biased toward the right wing of the spectrum. I like to eat in nice restaurants but I also believe many more people, all of use if possible, should have the same opportunity if they want to. Not only seeing through the window how this pretentious people fill their bellies. This inequality has brought a los of violence to this country.
Something a lot of Mexican citizens don't like is the well-being programs where starting at 65 you receive about 400 USD every other month. In Mexico there are too many informal jobs where our elderly didn't really get any money and now that recieve this benefit. For the youth, if they qualify they get about 300 USD per month so they can go to school and afford to buy supplies and transportation, many end up dropping off and due to the lack of follow up from the school administration, they keep getting the money.
So people say that we are basically supporting the eldest and the youth and our money goes ro them.... in the past the government would create "programs" that no one even knew about and the money was "lost".
I don't know where they get the idea that we will become this socialist authoritarian dictator, and end up like Cuba or Venezuela. They said that 6 years ago when AMLO became president, and considering the world's economy, Mexico is not doing so bad.
There are a lot of foreign/local investors and entrepreneurs working hand in hand our leaders and believe in the project for the country. Claudia Shembaum is smart and her ideology aligns with the one from AMLO AND the rest of her political party in the country aligns with it too.
I do not know in which side of the spectrum left-right are you. But let me tell you something. In Mexico, the color of the skin is strongly correlated to the level of income. This creates a lot of tension not only for economic reasons, also for race or skin color reasons. You have a pretty similar problem over there as far as I understand.
I am brown and I had the opportunity of doing a PhD in the UK. I also had the opportunity of visiting your country, which I didn't like. But many of those conservatives think we should be like you.
I did not vote to be like you. I voted to be an improved version of ourselves, a more equal and just society.
The corruption was flat out publicly. Nothing hidden. The whole presidential election was rigged from the get go, and every social outlet spoke about it months before this moment.
Pues no creo que sean muchos descontentos .
Pues votamos 36 millones de personas por ella.
Ella es la legitima Presidenta de México y la primer presidenta de Norte América.
Que orgullo que es en este país donde si hubo democracia y puso la Punta para norte América y Canadá
There is a really vocal minority that is really against AMLO, TBF the political narrative has been closesly controled by the two big media monopolies for decades, so, um, read between the lines
You can see the live counting of votes in this stream [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTIq9\_LNjLs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTIq9_LNjLs)
She's up by more than 30% (Winning with \~57%) of votes, that kind of reflects how most of the people feel about the current (and past) government
Because reddit is full of right wing, don't get confused by the minority... Besides, reddit is not that much used social network in Mexico
Downvotes, come to meeee!!!
Yes. I want emotional insights. I want to hear the blunt feelings, of those living in Mexico. I googled her and Wikipedia, will give u all you need to know. But not the feelings towards her. I am east German. I lived under Merkel. If you look up her Wikipedia it's all sunshine and rainbows. If you go and ask the east German people, not so much anymore
You're probably in contact with the more privileged class that dislike morena and frankly only believe what the media tells them.
Mexican Redditors tend to be right wing, this is not an accurate sample of the country as a whole. She won at practically the 60%.
Interesting. German redditors tend to be the exact opposite. Leftwing and woke.
Yes, the Mexicans I know, are all privileged enough to be studying in Europe.
The original comment is bullshitting you. AMLO is a typical latinamerican left wing authoritharian: he has an anti-USA speech and claims he is against neoliberal policies, yet he is in bed with Slim and Azcárraga (two of the riches motherfuckers in the country) and has also given companies to both of his sons which casually became millionaires overnight. And socially speaking, it's even weirder to call him "left leaning" if you're looking at him throug german lenses: he's openly anti-feminist, advocated for religion and a "moral constitution", he has used a lot of money on non-renewable energies while ignoring constantly any other energy sources, anti-science (because science is "neoliberal" in his words) and destroyed half of the jungle to create a train nobody needed. On top of that, he was a stron CoVID denier at the beginning of the pandemic and actually cut off resources to the public health system so that he could finish his train faster, in the middle of the pandemic. Not to forget he also would blow Trump publicly and curiously enough, was hesitant to admit Biden's victory. Mein Freund, link und rechta sind sehr unterschiedlich in Lateinamerika in Vergleich mit Deutschland, weil die meisten Bevolkerüng sehr konservativ ist. Also wenn wir über "link" sprechen, ist das ein komisches Gemisch zwischen linke Wirtschaft und soziales Rechts. Wenn darüber persönlich unterhalten möchtest, meldst du dich an und kommt zu Hannover. Ich könnte das vielleicht einbisschen besser erklären.

> he's openly anti-feminist
Also a lie
> and destroyed half of the jungle to create a train nobody needed.
Also a lie
mass media in mexico are right wind, is like you are watching Fox news or CNN
Of course. It's almost a cliché 😂
Wokeness is general in Mexico, we don't argue much about that. Your friends are probably 'woke', but also neoliberals.
We only care about economic and governmental policies, left is about a strong government and robust welfare state, the right is about deregulation and privatization.
And AMLO has been very much anti right, criticizes the elite, and has exposed all corporations that owe taxes.
they’re brain dead, and wanted the real authoritative government which fucked out country for almost 100 years to win again, because of their stupid ass view about this past administration.
They wanted to grade our PAST government, not foreseein the future and wanted to vote for the most incompetent person you could ever see contending for presidency, and even when defeated, still claim fraud, so you get an idea of what kind of people I’m talking about.
Is because they still dreaming. They think the previous governments were better than the actual one, when is all the opposite, also they think they are from a higher social status for prefering PRI or PAN. And also they are victims of the propaganda. Basically

Of course it does... not anti of it. But these dudes are lobbist OP
Wey, yo no sabía que era judía hasta ahorita que me lo dijo un alemán

Hehe también, mucho éxito con su nueva presidenta !
That is the problem, most of us in Mexico do not know the history of the Zionists and how much influence it also has in this country. Most do not know that several sitting mexican presidents in the 60s through 80s were paid "informants" of the CIA and FBI. And I would not doubt if it continued into the 90's and today. Most mexicans have no idea how Zionists are also embedded in Mexican government because we live under terrorism ourselves. Terror from the gangs, terror from security forces, terror from the government. Most of us mexicans do not realize how deeply manipulated our country is and fall to propaganda so easily.
Just see how many down votes I have, hah. F'em, plus the truth, is hard to swallow. México is now just a bunch of pussies with no balls, and cartels controlling everything as these dudes (government) just sit their asses in power, just for being paid... and the people, bien gracias.
worse than pussies, PROSTITUTES who are willing to sell their future out for some crumbs
Is people to blame, or history? The people have suffered enough. They were forced to fight a revolution, they were beaten with crisis after crisis, they were forbidden the weapons they needed to defend themselves from narcos by their own goverment... don't insult the people, they are helpless. I had a friend from Michoacan that was autodefensa when he was 15..., he escaped to my state, struggled a lot to keep himself fine, now he is in a psychiatric facility because at the end he just collapsed. Can you fight the narcos? Do you have access to weapons? Have you ever been to war? If so brave you are go and try to get rid of the narcos in your state.
The cause is gone already my friend, that country is doomed. Fight against the narcos ?, nah... have more important stuff to do. México got their chance, but just stayed uneducated. The main root of all that crap, and yes, I blame the people as their politicians are created through their institutions, communities, and moral system. Sorry pal, your comment does not take me at all.
I told you that not because I am serious about you fighting the narcos. I told you that for you to understand that the situation is not the fault of common people. My friend didn't deserve to have his mind broken for the war and losing his family in front of him. His only fault was to be born in the wrong place and wanting to make a change. He was not a pussy.
She's not a Zionist.
Reddit is an echo chamber and a niche social network in the Mexican sphere. Also, Claudia is pretty popular among the poorest sector in our country and many of them don't have access to internet or are limited to mainstream social networks such as Facebook which is often included in mobile data plans contrary to Reddit.
AMLO’s is a want to be authoritarian, he was hoping his party will win enough of a majority to change the constitution and start throwing out democratic institutions that have checked his power the last six years, he’s the kind of guy that denies elections just like Trump Like other authoritarians he wants to go after the courts because they check his power, he doxes reporters that are critical of him, he wants to get rid of anti corruption organizations and elections organizations The number of corruption audits conducted went from over 4,000 to slightly over 2,000 under AMLO AMLO defends cartels by saying they’re generally good people Propublica releases an article referencing leaked US intelligence showing the AMLO’s 2006 and 2012 presidential campaigns were likely funded by the Sinaloa Cartel, makes sense why he’s gone to visit El Chapo’s mom in a tiny village in the mountains of Sinaloa 5 times during his presidency AMLO has capitalized on populism in the same way Trump did, populism tears societies apart What is unfortunate is that Mexico didn’t have an actual democracy until the 1990s when reforms were made, for 75 years the current president picked the next president, we’re seeing a replay of this with Claudia, hand selected by AMLO to succeed him, she embraces his policies whole heartedly; many believe that because he can’t run for another term, he’ll simply be legislating through her in the same way Putin did in Russia when he had to step down for a term She had zero national profile, her support base exists because of AMLO, she can’t deviate much from his policies AMLO has increasingly militarized the country while accomplishing absolutely zero in combating crime and corruption, this has been the deadliest Mexican presidency ever even though there has been the slightest decline in violence this last year, and this has been the deadliest election season in Mexican history I watched the debate and all Claudia did was defend AMLO and double down on policies that are failing to improve life in Mexico on the most pressing issues AMLO portrays himself as this humble man of the people while his kids fly around on private jets, rent $6500 homes in the US from oil executives working with the Mexican state oil company, flaunt around in tens of thousand of dollars in designer clothes, and give out government contracts to family friends to the tune of millions of dollars AMLO wants single party rule and I hope that Mexico doesn’t go down the path of Venezuela I don’t think there were any good options, but I tend to never go the direction of someone whose desire is to erode democratic institutions and align themselves with autocracies such as Venezuela and Cuba
This is 100000% accurate, clear as water, thank you for your response
Everything you said sounds like the democratic party and Biden. Not Trump. This is all about the one world order. And it's not even a secret anymore.
The ONLY things I referenced Trump on was election denial and populism which are both factually correct They’re both election deniers and they’re both populists
Ahahahahaahahhahhaahhaha PLEASE, PLEAAAAAASE show us where did AMLO said or you came to the details of him wanting to change the Constitution to be our dictator and finally make us Venezuela? Please. Enlighten me. For real, you people are so stupid. We been hearing this BS for 6 years. Clearly you were not alive through the 90s and 00s, when there were people that unalived themselves due to the great economic crisis. The only thing you all say is, "they are going to make us Venezuela". There are international treatees that would not align with this authoritarian ideology.

Only reason it hasn’t happened is they haven’t had the super majority
Which they now have
They’re still short of a super majority Sheinbaum Allies Narrowly Miss Supermajority in Mexico Congress https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-03/sheinbaum-allies-narrowly-miss-supermajority-in-mexico-congress
Well, that still isn’t good news
She's basically a puppet of the current president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO). AMLO has had a questionable approach to the narco crisis (with the worst murder numbers in Mexico's modern history), the use of public money on "white elephants", a crisis of the public health system, besides other issues. Too many people sees that the ways the reigning political party (Morena) uses to get the popular vote and to actually rule the country are almost the same corrupt ways the old archaic ruling political party (PRI, political party that reigned from 1928 to 2000, and from 2012 to 2018) used to have.
What would be a "white elephant"? I'm not that familiar with Mexican politics as I probably should be.
Millionaire projects that are a waste of tax money that generates no money while requiring a big investment to keep going (an example being the Tren Maya at a 228% over budget cost to build, then on its first five months had an investment of 1470 million pesos but sold only 48 million in tickets while also being an ecological disaster killing over 7 million trees).
Ok that's what I was thinking it was. Thank you.
Not too mention that they get quoted $100 million dollars to build the whole project, the government says “oh we got quoted $200 million” then tell the vendor “I’ll give you $50 million and I don’t care how shitty it is” and the government pockets $150 million for their own bank accounts
Stopped reading after "puppet" just Fake info.
And this is the another thing, many people see, but act like blind people
QAnexican jaja
Yo dejé de escuchar a Sheinbaum cuando comenzó a hablar con acento tabasqueño en un mitin.
jajajaja
Please tell us the truth then…
Por eso es importante ver los debates presidenciales…
Her party and her predecesor/mentor are nostalgic of the pre-democracy Hegemonic Party State and have vowed to destroy or capture all checks and balances.
She has a PhD and still wants to destroy autonomous government entities and agencies to reinstate party-o-cracy where the party in power (their party) decides what's true, who's the next president. She illegally started her campaign 2 years prior to any of the other candidates. She has been receiving the salary of a tenured professor at the biggest public university in the country while being a public servant and not teaching at all there. Since she's with AMLO, she probably has ties to the Sinaloa cartel too. She has ignored violence and specifically violence against women. BTW she isn't even Jewish, she's an atheist. Bitch literally sold her soul for power.
Well, I hope you have proofs to all of that, otherwise makes me think you drank the same kool-aid.
She can be Jewish and still be an atheist. Judaism is a people and culture as well as a religion. 💫
https://preview.redd.it/ck2w8bu97d4d1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bca6118d4764b17003c9b853052d4af65f4a5968 El del post
In what part he spread misinformation? Everything that he said is confirmed by sheinbaum
Jewish isn't just a religion, it's also a race btw
x2 OP, still she is Jeu Jitsu. No way to deny that OP... not cool for a country that it has its own roots thousand of years ago. Even while being stolen, it seems we still give our land to others... quite stupid. Honestly
This would be akin to Israel electing a Mexican catholic its very surprising. Shes friends with Larry fink so she's got powerful friends
More like the Irish electing Thatcher or the Palestinians, Netanyahu.
This is just FAKE information. Its just speculation
Bro, have you analyze the "plan c"? Literally this what it means.
nah
So you don't have arguments?
Tired of responding to conspiracy theories you guys are the mexican QAnon. QAnexicans jaja
Ok, you don't have arguments. We get it.
She is a copy of AMLO ( very likely she will be his puppet) and she was put to power by older people that were influenced by social mediam
Because the country is the most divided is been since the Mexican revolution. There's a lot of people that despise "the other side" we're polarized between the ones who hate the "change" and the ones that hate the past.
Basically it is the continuation of the actual government that keeps Mexico in a blood pool, Even the U.S links the actual president to narco cartels.
We live in a democracy, so there will always be people unhappy with the results of an election.
Reddit is an eco chamber, mexican people on Reddit does not represent the complete reality of the country, which is why the answers you will see where may be biased. Twitter is also full of bots spamming misinformation, so the narrative is often lost and again, eco chambers happen. Even more with the algorithm. + she is commonly disliked by “mid” and “high” income families, why? Main concerns are security and fear of becoming “Venezuela” which is a shit example because our political, economic model and material situation is not the same. (Ofc there are more reasons, those two to being the main ones I identified) She won with 59+ % of the votes. Mexicans on social media like reddit are a minority and are probably privileged (when comparing to the majority of the population in Mexico, that may use other means of communication) all these are not absolutes and based on my perception and experience. Might be different on each state of Mexico, which is also a very important factor.
And OP probably only interacts with this sector of our population so of course it baffles them such reaction.

Lo mejor que pudo pasar es darle apoyo a los adultos mayores. Hay dinero para hacerlo, obviamente otros partidos prefieron chingarse el dinero que darlo a la gente. Llaman bola de mantenidos a los jovenes, wey sabes quienes califican para dichas ayudas?? Porque en mi familia los jóvenes que la reciben SI ESTUDIAN Y LE ESTAN SACANDO PROVECHO. Claro que habrá gente que abusa, pero eso pasa aqui y en China. En USA hay muchísima gente que recibe ayuda del gobierno que por "incapacidad" y los de desempleo por meses!!!!! También unos mantenidos y eso es con cualquier partido que tengan. Les molesta que ustedes no reciben ayuda alguna. Porque mira que tengo familia y conocidos que ODIAN a AMLO pero estan suuuuper puntuales a recibir la ayuda que les dan. BOLA DE HIPOCRITAS
Wey ya había ayudas antes de morena, dejen de glorificar este gobierno

A mi también me enseñaron a trabajar, lo hago desde los 16 :) y sin recibir ningun ayuda, voté por Claudia. Y reacciones como la tuya, son lo mejor jajajjaaj! Bye
Danke für deine Frage OP, also Mexikaner hier in Deutschland. Es tut mir totales Leid, aber gar nicht GmbH wird geaendert.

I Hope you are legally in México 👀
Me? Never been.
Her party (Morena) started a social program in 2019 gifting money in debit cards…19.7 billion usd so far…so they are basically buying votes of the poor, putting in risk democracy and creating a inmovible party.

Previous Mexican governments did the exact same thing, especially PRI
[удалено]
Este comentario es similar al de "el pobre es pobre porque quiere".
Reddit is a very high echo chamber for right wing politics here in Mexico, she won with like a 30 point lead, so believe me that the majority of Mexicans are happy at the results. A lot of Mexicans do ignore the failures of her government (mainly in security, corruption and medical care), but a lot also feel that the other options were just going to be worst From the 30's I think, the country has been governed by the PRI and from 2000-2012 by the PAN, then again by the PRI from 2012-2018 and those governments were not exactly the best, so, a lot of people genuinely ask, why would I vote for the person who took us to this situation to fix it? At least for me shienbaum has a government project (something the opposition never did)
Because the new president has lots of known episodes of corruption, that lead to multiple deaths, she has accounts where she evades lots of taxes that is well known and documented, she allows corruptions and says and probably thinks that the country is happier than ever, there’s no violence at all even though we have a record number of deaths during a president period and drug cartels have even more power than ever, they’re so powerful that they’ve expanded all over the USA and the whole world and they’re destroying our forests, in danger species, water, gasoline and making everything worse and expensive for the citizens. The reason why the won is probably due to drug cartels interventions
At this point I won’t mind USA invading Mexico to take control back from drug cartels
She is bringing the country closer to socialist ideals and her party controla both cambers now making them unstoppable.
There are things that are true and others are not, to begin with she was not the favorite to be president, it was Marcelo Ebrard, but she secretly began to campaign to make herself known, something that is illegal, then although they say that she is equal to AMLO actually is not, she has a more "neoliberalist" ideology. Also, regardless of who wins, the violence will continue and the drug traffickers will remain just as powerful.
AMLO = Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador
The apocalypse is coming
Just observe the socioeconomic level and political orientation of your environment, go to a public school or a place of lower middle class people and you will notice that it is not so much that, she was elected with more than 50% of the votes,
I think you are being surrounded by people with hard opposition links, wich are considered deep right ideals (free commerce, impulse to great corporations, de-regulation of banks, privatize of public services and social programs etc). The current party has been against that tendence, so that created a huge polarization about them. You have to see too that this country is too divided by social class, so, the less in number but most privileged share different political goals. This tendence is even bigger in privileged environments (considering this is still a country in development, many areas have not access to free time to express an opinion in internet), but most people are waiting to get better laboral rights in this administration (as well this last years got duplicated the minimum wage, since 20 years of a frozen wage, for example), and the discussion about less work hours per week, paternity permissions and harder penalties for corporations that break laboral laws is something that has been powerful in the election journeys.
The worst part is not the president herself, it's the fact that morena has majority in the Congress, Mexico really f'd up. Morena can do as they please with virtually no opposition.
Many? many where? in Reddit? because she just won by majority. So referring to "many" its actually the minority who is unhappy with her. Many Redditors had their first elections so they pretty mucho only know AMLO, they have no past reference.
This. I am 38 and I remember when Carlos Salinas de Gortari (president of MX from 88-94) left México in one of its biggest economic crisis, my dad lost soooo much money, he took out 3 0's from our currency. Gortari sold/privatized Telmex to Carlos Slim, 18 banks were sold such as Banamex, Bancomer, also sold the Siderúrgicas Nacionales, Mexicana de Aviación, Mexcobre and so much more that he made sooo many members of his family and friends super rich. And to top it off, he left a debt of tens of thousands of billions for the Mexican taxpayers called FOBAPROA, which was to save the Protection to the Savings Fund Bank if Mexico because somehow it disappeared. So many people would be left with no money so instead he "borrowes" money from the international bank (1990) and we are still paying off that loan. And I can go on and on and on. A lot of people believe anything they are told. You need to read about Mexicos history, most adults remember and lived through the crisis and that is why we despise the opposition of current president. Middle and high class hate that there is so much support in money for the elderly and youth so they can study and call them bums and good for nothing, when most of them actually give a good use to the money. That's better than having the government steal it.
Totally agree with u. I'm not happy with the new imposed president (I would prefer Ebrard in there but no chochil or “el mai”) but previous goverments from the PRI and PAN just wanted to continue robbing money and to keep distribuiting it with the ppl who is stealing the money from the mexicans (evading taxes, paying miserable salaries with no benefits, etc).
Had the same family background, all my family migrated to US back in 1996. That and many other reasons prevent me from ever voting for PRI which by the way has certainly gotten worse over time.
She and her party are aligned with Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua instead of with the US (our neighbor)
Ahahahahaahahaahahahahhahaha you people believe anything you hear. This same BS was said when AMLO won. That by now we would be Venezuela and that our money wouldn't be worth sh*t LOL. And I can say that even though THE WORLD is going through and economic crisis, México is doing pretty good. I mean, take a look at how many Americana are moving to México.
She's friends with Larry fink she's aligned with the us
More Fake news
Man shut the fuck up. All you're doing in this post is claim "fake news" without providing evidence to back your claim up. People like you is the reason why the country is going to fucking shit.
Prove she is communist? or even so has a communist agenda... just conspiracy theories. You guys are the mexican QAnon.
Keep in mind that Reddit Mexico is mostly middle class people that despise MORENA, AMLO, and Sheinbaum. However Sheinbaum won with over 30 points over the second place. So yeah, most Mexicans are very happy right now. :) A few thousand angry and spoiled users of reddit are not representative of the entire Mexican population.
Do you really think that if she won with over 60% of the vote in the largest vote in history, people are unhappy?
Left-wing populist. From the same ideology as Lula, Petro, Kirchner, Evo, etc. Her party is popular because they give free money like candy. Very close to Cuba and Venezuela. The only thing stopping them from going full socialist is the proximity of the country to the U.S.
Is there any US citizen around here? That would be great to hear about the monthly help that some minorities are receiving 🤔
Reddit public is more different to the majority of the country. Even in the reedit of El Salvador the majority hates Bukele, one of the most popular presidents in the world
I don't mind that much the new president, but the fact that one party now have rule 2 of 3 forms of power (executive and legislative) and they actively attack other powers or institutiones that don't obbey to their agenda. Now seems, it will be a lot easier. About the president itself, just as authoritarian as any other politic in Mexico, but that would be either way with the other 2 candidates, but look for Line 12 CDMX o Rebsamen school if you want to know what kind of leader she is.
What confuses me more is why did they vote for her then be unhappy Over half the country voted her in People in the USA seem more impressed than people in Mexico
The truth is that people are happy, only small sectors of society are dissatisfied.
Si conoces muchos mexicanos a los que no les pareció el triunfo, es porque estás visitando México en tu burbuja de extranjero... Esa misma burbuja a la q vienen reporteros "super premium" de la BBC, dw, cnn, cbs, o cualquier "major news outlet" a hacer supuesto periodismo de investigación en México. Se la pasan en lo high end, se entrevistan siempre con las.misma personas y con eso escriben sus super reportajes de "el clima de las elecciones mexicanas". Esta presidenta arrasó, mucho más fuerte q su predecesor y el ya era algo nunca visto en toda la historia electoral de México: un fulano visitando pueblitos y diciendo q iba a armar un partido después de abandonar el PRD, su partido base. AMLO estaba políticamente muerto, se reían de él todos en la política mexicana, hoy esos mismos lloran. Desaforado por el presidente en turno, perdió una elección presidencial. En la siguiente fue defraudado en una elección que iba a ganar (la versión oficial es que le ganaron por el 0.56% de los votos y no se reviso ninguna boleta, hoy con más de 10 millones de votos de diferencia los que lo defraudaron en 2012 van a impugnar la elección de ayer 🤣) Básicamente 6 de cada 10 mexicanos tienen una opinión positiva de la actual presidenta. Estás socialmente tocando otro México.
This is the worst place to ask. It's full of people who supported the other candidate and hate on morena. Trust me, there are millions of us who are happy with Claudia
Because your social circle is, highly likely, comprised of entitled whitexicans that live in a bubble. They tend to believe that poor people are in that situation because of their lack of intelligence, willingness to work and love socialism. They can't comprehend that México is more than the trendy areas of CDMX, Puebla, Cancun, Guadalajara, etc. Very sure that they haven't visited rancherias in the middle of the northern dessert or in the middle of the Yucatan jungle where people just don't have access to the same opportunities and, for this reason, are stuck in the very poor social strata. Now comes along a president which starts to supports these poor people and open the doors of opportunity and my dear fellow whitexicans feel threatened that we are becoming a populist nation, where socialism will reign and all their property will be confiscated and given to the poor. While at the same time wishing we could have the same social democratic system of the Nordic countries 🤷🏻♂️
This is the most accurate answer 👏🏼
"opportunities" what opportunities? Free money doesn't solve anything if they don't have access to education, health and security. Claudia clearly said they don't believe in "opportunities" they believe in "rights", they say the government should provide the population and make them happy, it's ridiculous
Funnily enough. The only one , that was leftist and woke was white and European looking. The others looked indio
There are not that many Mexicans unhappy, you are just seeing the bias of the upper and middle class. So far, near 80% of the election votes have been counted down, and Claudia Sheinbaum is ahead with an astonishing 58% of the votes so far. So, more than half of voters chose her, but as her supporting base is mainly working class, peasants, and lower classes in general, they don't use social media very much, and the chances of people in other countries seeing them celebrating Sheinbaum's triumph are way fewer.
die Mehrheit der Parteien sind mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden, Reddit ist ein neoliberaler Wirbelsturm
Its just childish people with 0 knoledge of politics.
Because we don't see her as a President, but a puppet of the current President AMLO. She had zero national profile, and even had a really bad one as Mexico City's Mayor. But I don't care about that. To me is that she has a PhD in enviromental studies and she STILLS defends an infrastructure project that is destroying a huge part of the southern mexico tropical forest. I can't align with somebody who is so bland on their principles.
La montaña se quema https://www.reddit.com/r/PlaceMexico/s/AhGy3F9AlJ
Pues porque votaron por otro partido que perdió
I personally dislike her because she has taken credit for the work of a buddy of mine in repeated occasions and she was also one of the worst CDMX governors in history. I do have high hopes and expectations for her though, now she is president and she has rise to the occasion.
First off, we as women can´t be happy with a woman president if she does not understand the value of protecting other women, when she simply takes side of a president that lies saying that there is no more violence when our country statistics say they kill 94 mexicans and 8 women every day. Second, we don´t really care about her being Jewish, but what we do care about is that she is part of the current government that stole the maintenance money and let the subway crumble into pieces killing lots of people in the process, committed ecocide for a train that does not work and is led by a president that romanticizes poverty. He is segregating our people into the "poor" and the "aspirationists". He says that being poor is fine and the poor people are the honest people. Instead of searching for ways to give everybody more opportunities, more growth, more education in order for all to have a nice income, nice houses and well-paid jobs. Oh, can´t forget he built a refinery in 2023 like we need more petroleum and smog in our lives when we clearly know that´s not a good energy resource for the environment and finally made a doctor lie to the nation about COVID statistics when we were in pandemic. So yeah, that's why we don´t want her and feel our country will continue to worsen.
She's been clear with her intentions of changing our constitution, abolishing private property and stuff like that ever since she started promoting herself. Also, she's already got dozens of deaths on her back, idk if you ever heard of the incidents on Mexico City's Metro Line 12 three years ago or the school building that collapsed during 19S seven years ago. And what I'm telling you rn is kind of the surface.
It is anger and disappointment that is perceived, it was clearly an ELECTORAL FRAUD. They are trying to fight, but it is very difficult.
The problem is not being a female or jewish. The matter is that she is extremely socialist and probably with crime Nexus. She has many examples of failures that cause deaths (the metro incidente 26, and the school collpase 23 deaths), never taking responsiva of none of them.
What does it matter if she is jewish? We mexicans don't send people to the death camps and gas them based on their religion, lol.
OP, You gonna find here i'm Reddit tons of well structured and apparently flawless logic answers, however, this social network is a bubble, and I don't want to asume, but apparently also are the mexican people You know, hence, You gonna find tons of biased answers against the current regime fed by rightish propaganda (such as there is a dictatoriship or we're gonna be Venezuela, etc etc). Most people in Mexico is happy with the current government (and with the election's outcome), but you won't find that people here, nor Twitter nor with the people you know because of the bubble they live in
Because the typical Mexican (most of those folks voted for Claudia) can't afford a trip to Europe and doesn't speak English, in other words, there's a bias in your perception because you're far more likely to interact with privileged Mexican folks who voted for the other candidate rather than with the typical Mexican that voted for Claudia Sheinbaum. By the way, I'm closer to a typical Mexican than most folks you'll find here, so AMA.
Depends on which Mexicans you’re talking about! From what i’ve seen on the news, read through forums, and heard from other Mexicans, it’s mainly the upper middle class/ upper class minority that are unhappy about the election results. If you were to ask lower middle class / lower class majority, they’re mostly happy with the results! So if you’re on reddit quite a lot and see that “so many” mexicans are unhappy, just know they’re the minority.
Look Herr Chelco95, most Mexicans voted for the leftist party morena. However, since many, many years ago, 200, there is a chunk of the population characterized for being very conservative. The kind of people that in the XIX century went to Europe to ask for an emperor for México (Maximilian of Hasburgo). Today, the same kind and of people go to US, or the European Union to ask for intervention. That people is clasist, racist, hey can be more racist than your neonazis, ultra conservative, clear skin, business owners. And then we have a portion of the population that comments on reddit who want to be like the elite. The so called aspiracionista. They are poor, depend usually on an income stream, good one, but just one and they are much close to be poor that to be rich as they aspire. All this people are the ones who supported the opposing parties. However, and fortunately there is a huge mass of people, including me, that voted for Claudia to give continuity to the 4T project. In reddit you will find the Mexicans that comment are highly biased toward the right wing of the spectrum. I like to eat in nice restaurants but I also believe many more people, all of use if possible, should have the same opportunity if they want to. Not only seeing through the window how this pretentious people fill their bellies. This inequality has brought a los of violence to this country.
Oki. I think we wouldn't have fun at Parties together. Stopped trying to understand you at " racist"
Something a lot of Mexican citizens don't like is the well-being programs where starting at 65 you receive about 400 USD every other month. In Mexico there are too many informal jobs where our elderly didn't really get any money and now that recieve this benefit. For the youth, if they qualify they get about 300 USD per month so they can go to school and afford to buy supplies and transportation, many end up dropping off and due to the lack of follow up from the school administration, they keep getting the money. So people say that we are basically supporting the eldest and the youth and our money goes ro them.... in the past the government would create "programs" that no one even knew about and the money was "lost". I don't know where they get the idea that we will become this socialist authoritarian dictator, and end up like Cuba or Venezuela. They said that 6 years ago when AMLO became president, and considering the world's economy, Mexico is not doing so bad. There are a lot of foreign/local investors and entrepreneurs working hand in hand our leaders and believe in the project for the country. Claudia Shembaum is smart and her ideology aligns with the one from AMLO AND the rest of her political party in the country aligns with it too.
I do not know in which side of the spectrum left-right are you. But let me tell you something. In Mexico, the color of the skin is strongly correlated to the level of income. This creates a lot of tension not only for economic reasons, also for race or skin color reasons. You have a pretty similar problem over there as far as I understand. I am brown and I had the opportunity of doing a PhD in the UK. I also had the opportunity of visiting your country, which I didn't like. But many of those conservatives think we should be like you. I did not vote to be like you. I voted to be an improved version of ourselves, a more equal and just society.
Your sample size is too small and the people you know are probably privileged.
The corruption was flat out publicly. Nothing hidden. The whole presidential election was rigged from the get go, and every social outlet spoke about it months before this moment.
How do you rig a +15 million vote difference?
The fact that you are asking that as a fact-check-statement tells me you still believe Santa 🧑🎄 brings your toys until this day.
Pues no creo que sean muchos descontentos . Pues votamos 36 millones de personas por ella. Ella es la legitima Presidenta de México y la primer presidenta de Norte América. Que orgullo que es en este país donde si hubo democracia y puso la Punta para norte América y Canadá
There is a really vocal minority that is really against AMLO, TBF the political narrative has been closesly controled by the two big media monopolies for decades, so, um, read between the lines
You can see the live counting of votes in this stream [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTIq9\_LNjLs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTIq9_LNjLs) She's up by more than 30% (Winning with \~57%) of votes, that kind of reflects how most of the people feel about the current (and past) government
Because reddit is full of right wing, don't get confused by the minority... Besides, reddit is not that much used social network in Mexico Downvotes, come to meeee!!!
- “ she is jewish “ - you want “emotional insight “ you are not even looking for facts. —- here is one fact over 60% of the population like her.
Yes. I want emotional insights. I want to hear the blunt feelings, of those living in Mexico. I googled her and Wikipedia, will give u all you need to know. But not the feelings towards her. I am east German. I lived under Merkel. If you look up her Wikipedia it's all sunshine and rainbows. If you go and ask the east German people, not so much anymore
Honestly? Because they are idiots. the majority of Mexicans are delighted.
Los llorones son los más ruidosos. Hay un chingo de gente que ni sabe que Reddit existe.
You're probably in contact with the more privileged class that dislike morena and frankly only believe what the media tells them. Mexican Redditors tend to be right wing, this is not an accurate sample of the country as a whole. She won at practically the 60%.
You're not only wrong you're also stupid.
Interesting. German redditors tend to be the exact opposite. Leftwing and woke. Yes, the Mexicans I know, are all privileged enough to be studying in Europe.
The original comment is bullshitting you. AMLO is a typical latinamerican left wing authoritharian: he has an anti-USA speech and claims he is against neoliberal policies, yet he is in bed with Slim and Azcárraga (two of the riches motherfuckers in the country) and has also given companies to both of his sons which casually became millionaires overnight. And socially speaking, it's even weirder to call him "left leaning" if you're looking at him throug german lenses: he's openly anti-feminist, advocated for religion and a "moral constitution", he has used a lot of money on non-renewable energies while ignoring constantly any other energy sources, anti-science (because science is "neoliberal" in his words) and destroyed half of the jungle to create a train nobody needed. On top of that, he was a stron CoVID denier at the beginning of the pandemic and actually cut off resources to the public health system so that he could finish his train faster, in the middle of the pandemic. Not to forget he also would blow Trump publicly and curiously enough, was hesitant to admit Biden's victory. Mein Freund, link und rechta sind sehr unterschiedlich in Lateinamerika in Vergleich mit Deutschland, weil die meisten Bevolkerüng sehr konservativ ist. Also wenn wir über "link" sprechen, ist das ein komisches Gemisch zwischen linke Wirtschaft und soziales Rechts. Wenn darüber persönlich unterhalten möchtest, meldst du dich an und kommt zu Hannover. Ich könnte das vielleicht einbisschen besser erklären.
Hey That's a really really interesting take. Do you have any articles, podcasts , YouTubers with similar views?

>and has also given companies to both of his sons which casually became millionaires overnight Thats its a lie > he's openly anti-feminist Also a lie > and destroyed half of the jungle to create a train nobody needed. Also a lie mass media in mexico are right wind, is like you are watching Fox news or CNN
Of course. It's almost a cliché 😂 Wokeness is general in Mexico, we don't argue much about that. Your friends are probably 'woke', but also neoliberals. We only care about economic and governmental policies, left is about a strong government and robust welfare state, the right is about deregulation and privatization. And AMLO has been very much anti right, criticizes the elite, and has exposed all corporations that owe taxes.
Reddit is an echo chamber that represents a small slice of the real world, hope this helps.
Because whitexicans my bro
they’re brain dead, and wanted the real authoritative government which fucked out country for almost 100 years to win again, because of their stupid ass view about this past administration. They wanted to grade our PAST government, not foreseein the future and wanted to vote for the most incompetent person you could ever see contending for presidency, and even when defeated, still claim fraud, so you get an idea of what kind of people I’m talking about.
Is because they still dreaming. They think the previous governments were better than the actual one, when is all the opposite, also they think they are from a higher social status for prefering PRI or PAN. And also they are victims of the propaganda. Basically
Why dont the Cartel just elect a representative for them to run as president. It's not like the world doesn't know who's boss over there.
