didn’t acre have to deal with a huge IMF loan the morons in charge before him took to do poo poo like pay civil servants bc of how horrifically they dismantled the state when he and morales took power for the first time? it seems if anyone knows what to do in this situation it’d be him

I checked r/Chile and the top post is a meme about how everyone’s gonna be an antifa catgirl now so I’m guessing that they’re left leaning I wonder if the fact that they seem to be a Spanish language sub while r/Bolivia was inexplicably English speaking has much to do with it

Kal-L posted:Do as I say, not as I do! isn’t AMLO still pretty popular despite being a big disappointment since he’s still way better than the neolib ghouls in power before him? I saw that his approval was still something like 58% which in the US would be unthinkably high

I heard AMLO’s still got high favorability bc dragging his feet on implementing leftist policy aside, he at least doesn’t seem actively evil like the ghouls he replaced; is that about right?

Fast Luck posted:Also Haiti now has their own good Guaido. Everyone hates the fake puppet president who won a sham election and declared his term ended yesterday even though the Biden administration is insisting there's another year before his term ends. There have been street protests for years now and violent reprisals and black ops kidnappings in response. So now Haitians have sworn in some judge to be the new president but the old president is still there. didn’t the last time Haitians had a good President hillary immediately couped him? or was that for the min wage vote?

Fast Luck posted:Yeah, when the United States literally kidnapped the president JB Aristide and renditioned him to Africa. Just absolutely insane. US-trained insurgents came across the border from the DR and then the US claimed they kidnapped the president for his own protection and for the good of Haiti basically. there are so many leaders in the region who have biographies that begin with stuff like “as a young priest he frequently slept in the rain, having opened his parish to the destitute of the city” and end with “couped by US”

from what I’ve heard the Australian electoral system is about as fair as you can make one in the context of a liberal democracy and the fact that they keep electing people like that leader of an anti pedo party that turned to be himself a pedo is less an indictment of their electoral system than it is a scathing indictment of the Australian people
