  1.  @dayalasingh5853  Also, in the 90s, according to Chomsky, it’s not ethnic cleansing is NATO is trying to stop it from happening. He’s 100% tankie, a sophist, and I don’t respect his political opinions. I respect Bernie Sanders. I’m not keen on his policies, but he is sincere. It will be a sad day when he leaves the national stage.

  2.  @julianalfaro1063  I have never heard a Mexican identify him or herself with a hyphen like we do in the U.S. with markers like Mexican-American, Jewish-American, Japanese-American, etc. I know Mexicans with German heritage. They would never call themselves German-Mexican. I am not criticizing this American practice. There are historical reasons for it (primarily a white dominated society that put us into racially identified groups to deny our “American-ness”). And apparently those historical reasons haven’t gone away.

  4.  @AztlanHistorian  No olvides a tu Octavio Paz. I live in a working class (poor) neighborhood. It is strongly PAN. When the Morena candidate for our town’s president came to campaign, he was accompanied by a squad of La Guarda Nacional. It was unnecessary, but the people certainly noted the atmosphere created by the presence of soldiers, setting up a perimeter around the campito where Morena held their rally. I wouldn’t say people were angry, but they were not receptive to a party that arrived in this way. All of the rally attendees were imported from other colonias. I’m not a Mexican citizen and I don’t support any particular party. But I worry about a “people’s party” that would use such tactics. When PAN or PRI has their campaign stops, they don’t bring soldiers. They bring packages of food for the poor. A kilo of rice, a few kilos of frijoles, a bottle of cooking oil. It’s almost nothing, but I think the people appreciate the gesture. They give the children cheap backpacks and pencil cases. Maybe it’s the overall political environment that caused Morena to show up in my humble colonia with soldiers. They do it “just in case”. But it also tells me that the local Morena is not engaging with the poor people, even if they are the “populist” party. What troubles me is how many of my friends in the colonia take pride in not voting. Maybe it’s is true that nothing will change when a different party comes into power, but I fear that if the right to vote is not exercised, the right can be lost. I was not impressed with AMLO. I hope Sheinbaum does a better job.
