Mexico's new president!

Wait, after all those murders and sabotaging during the elections the people still managed to elect a really worthy president (seems like the best president I've seen in all the countries the last years)??

Wow, maybe I should move to Mexico

Congratulations Mexico!

Edit: Well, hmm:

Legitimate question: Who exactly is it that won't attend her inauguration? Were they invited, but refused to attend? Who else from the US is going?

Also, congrats to Mexico! sounds like a great choice for a president!

Is this the first Nobel laureate to run a country? How bloody amazing. Well done Mexico!

My first thoughts,

U.S.A.: Can we have that president?

U.S. Govt.: No, you have president at home

Biden

But seriously this is awesome to see, It's nice to see some uplifting news.

I had the impression that people running for office in Mexico were being assassinated a lot, if she is real force for good then I hope she's safe

How the hell did Mexico get a Jewish president before the USA? We need to step up our game.

But also good on her and on Mexico. She sounds exactly like the sort of person I’d want running my country.

In October 1991, Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari went to Stanford University to give a talk on the benefits of Latin American neoliberalism, but was met with a demonstration against it. The angry college girl holding the sign with the inscription "Fair Trade and Democracy Now" in English is the current president-elect of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum

En octubre de 1991 el presidente mexicano Carlos Salinas de Gortari fue a la Universidad de Stanford a para dar una charla sobre las bondades del neoliberalismo latinoamericano, pero se encontró con una manifestación en su contra. La chica universitaria enojada que sostiene el cartel con la inscripción "Comercio justo y Democracia ahora" en inglés es la actual presidenta electa de México, Claudia Sheinbaum

Why the hell can't we have candidates this awesome on the ballot here in the US?! 😿

She sounds promising, good luck to Mexicans for the next electoral period.

And now I’m jealous of Mexico.

President Sheinbaum.

Not "President Claudia".

And below retirement age, too! Finally someone who won't just want to secure a cozy last few few years for their elderly rich friends.

Now the GOP is really hating Mexico.

Her republikkklown neighbors are petty, petulant children. I hope she does well.

More leaders like her please, looking at you US

Edit but yeah being technically capable aside, many eugenists were PhDs and philosophers. Sam Harris comes to mind as he is a racist and a sophist with lots of academic qualifications. So yeah, ethics and morals also matter greatly. Mexico seems to have lucked out, good for them!

Meanwhile in America:

I'm going to move to Mexico I guess. Here in The Netherlands, as well as most of the European countries, right wing extremism is on the rise. Who would have thought it would be Mexico to show we don't have to live in a dystopian shit show.

This is amazing for the world. Good job Mexico.

Nice! Congratulations Mexico! 🇲🇽 🍾🥂

She's the same party as the incumbent and the results were a blow out. She got a plurality in a three man race, those guys didn't stand a chance.

Incoming CIA sponsored coup/assassination.

But if Theodore Cruizin' and other shitbags sharing their border don't show up, was she really even inaugurated?

Congrats to her. I know nothing else about her. Hope she's able to do some good.

Her being a woman is probably the least significant thing about this.

Thanks, for that, and thanks for dodging R1 by including a link to Boing Boing, they seem reputable

Oh is this why Biden is suddenly cracking down on immigration and wanting to build the wall too? I had assumed it was just blatant appeals to the right.

How can she be president? She doesn’t look like she’s about to die of old age

lol @ the downvotes for mentioning the Cartel who is known for assassinating, at the very least threatening government employees and politicians, including actual presidents.

Looks like people in Mexico weren't fooled by US propaganda.

Does Mexico want to get freedomed? Because this is precisely how you get freedomed.

good job Mexico, you would think this should be the standard behaviour everywhere

I wish hera long, happy, productive career, really

I mean, you couldn't source a link to a tweet yourself and had to share a reddit post on reddit's competing platform?

Guessing she's still around because the cartels want her around. Not sure how good this is.

Can we also elect a smartypants nonretiree ? Is that even an option ?

Viva Mexico!

holy shit can she be our president too

Congratulations to Mexico

She sounds like a badass. Go Claudia Go! 🎉

Mexico elects

Not yet... voting isn't over until June 8

i tought i heard somewhere about her being a fascist? what are her proposals for mexico, what you guys like about her?

How much does the parliament count among the cartells?

She'll be dead in 6 months probably

https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/mexican-candidate-assassinations-hit-grim-record-ahead-sundays-election-2024-06-01/

To be clear, 37 other candidates were murdered. Leaving this final one the pick of the cartels as the survivor.

Don't need to point out the fact she's Jewish. Nobody cares. Just do a good job.

This smells like how Obama 'got rid of racism' in US. I wonder how the women deaths in Mexico are gonna lower in the followihg years...

RIP

Well I hope she survives. One thing going for her is that Claudia is pretty much like Karen here in the US. If you had a Claudia at your school, she was probably either really fat and annoying or had the biggest chest possible and was the teacher's pet so she could go smoke with her boyfriend during recess.
