Yeah 37 assassinated candidate runner ups being murdered speaks volumes about that
They were not all runner-ups, you're falling for misinformation bullshit (and stop upvoting misinformation, people!). The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.
Which is absolutely fucking horrifying in and of itself, don't get me wrong, but what you're saying is just not true.
Hmm.. so it's not the electoral system that needs reform... Murcia just needs to murder more candidates?!
Yeah, kinda wondering why the cartels want her in office. Maybe she's less good than she appears.
Also wondering why anyone would want to lead Mexico given that angering the cartels will get you cartel'd...
I'll tell you what I told the previous commenter: They were not all runner-ups, that's misinformation. The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.
Which is also disgusting, of course, but no, the cartels did not kill off all her competition to get her into office.
Maybe they don't want her in the office, maybe they didn't want the other guys they offed
