    Whatdya mean? Amlo was the same party, Sheinbaum is an extension of him basically, and they’ve long terms I think, 6 years or whatever.

    Calderon is rumored to have been put into office with the help of the cia cheating at their elections, idk if that is true but it was widely thought to be true at the time. He started the war against the cartels for the US that wanted it.

    Idk about Fox, Vincente Fox, I think he was after, idk if I’m missing one. But he was more right wing. He would’ve been with the US on whatever they wanted more even if looking the other way on some corruption that is endemic.

    But amlo was the one that brought the military in I think, or at least very much increased their involvement in policing.

    So idk which two groups you refer to, and locking up coke fiends is not helpful at all, locking up violent cartels that kill people is. Coke users are just going to happen, ruining their lives for using drugs solves nothing. And I believe in personal freedom and don’t think it should even be illegal as such perhaps.

    Kidnapping 30 people and then beheading them and affixing their heads on cactus bordering the highway however, that is the sort of thing that needs to be stopped.
