    Morena is a pretty solid party overall, and we should treat socdems in the global south differently from their counterparts in the imperial core.

    AMLO for example is pushing hard against the US extradition of Julian Assange, even playing the the collateral murder video when some New York Times journalists started throwing shade. Morena also recognizes Palestine and is closing doors to Israel, against the wishes of the US.

    Great to see the people of Mexico continuing to support Morena and reject liberalism, this is a great day.

      Indeed, I don’t mean to downplay this day! Just to point out that I am hopeful that she can do some great work unhindered by US hostilities. Social Democracy in the Global South is fundamentally not based on Imperialism like in the Global North, I absolutely agree.
