The 30th of March was the official beginning of the Mexican electoral campaigns and they fucking suck. Why?

Because campaigns are taxpayer funded, a very good thing to stop the church of the Kock brothers from fucking with us, but a bad thing because tehy give them way too much money. So, from 6:02 onwards (when the national anthem finished) until 2:17 I only heard ads for presidential idiots.

Normally I avoid the radio but I forgot my aux jack, a tragic mistake

Then it was Daft Punk’s “One more time” which is not enough to make me want to switch back to radio.

Hey man, I don’t know what your talking about. The US Government is the best government money can buy!

As someone living in a country where bribes acount for 5 billon dollars yearly, I think we can agree.

Shame such a small amount of people own it.

What you call bribes, the US calls “campaign contributions”.

Do you not have satellite ratio or bluetooth streaming?

I am glad I live in a blue bastion of relative sanity in a growing dumbed down deplorable dystopia, at least we aren’t subject to many national political ads here.

Yeah, safe states don’t get any love from the big parties; specially due to the electoral college.

My jeep doesn’t have either, Kia has Bluetooth and maybe xm?

This state has voted blue for more than a generation, and current demographics ensure this will continue - no point in campaigning much here, other than to maybe seek money from the base. Funny thing, this snowflake paradise remains one of the strongest economies in the land, even with regressive taxes and a dirty housing market, while many red places remain first world by geography only. Funny how that works.

You should make a pile of CD mixes or something. Terrestrial radio is hit and miss (at best) here, too.

I think XM is still starting here, I think internet radio will beat it.

Bluetooth streaming is big here, I think. I’ve been into satellite radio for some time, but with Prime and unlimited data, streaming is a new option.

Normally I have saved Spotify playlists on my phoen and that suffices

AFriendof mine told me to “load up on good podcasts” during the political season. He was right.

And turn off any TV or radio news. As if you don’t know who you’re voting for anyway.

Zavala for President, abstained vote for Chief of Government, PRD senators/reps, and PAN Mayor for my borough.

We get to change all of the federal government and in Mexico City all the local onr too.

Are there any good choices?

I mean, I like Claudia Sheinboum but her party is controlled by a crazy person and the other chief of government candidates are crazy themselves. If my mayor was running for that (Xochil Galvez) I’d vote for her but she’s going for senate I think... So I’m probably abstaining from Chief of Government, I’d nred to research them a lot more and the political discourse here in the City is pretty much everyone agreeing we need better transport and better cops, and no speed cameras, they just disagree on how to do it.

Otherwise, at the federal level...no they all suck. I just think Zavala sucks less than the three stoogies competing alongside her.

Funny, in Mexico City almost 50% of registered voters will vote for a woman, only 8% will vote for a man, and the rest is either independents or undecided

I guess men have messed things up pretty well, might as well give a woman a shot. Too bad it doesn’t happen here.
