Update from Mexico
John Ross writes about the protests and sit-ins surrounding AMLO's challenge to the alleged election of Felipe Calderon as Mexico's president.
Strangely, I've been getting some bizarre anti-AMLO e-mails. One, which I received three times, two from "prdd008@prodigy.net.mx" and one from "prdperderdores@prodigy.net.mx," says simply: "PRD--Perdedores!!! AMLO, Un peligro para Mexico." Which I translate as "PRD--Losers! AMLO, a danger for Mexico." Another, lengthier one says about AMLO "He is using us" and "He lost." Both messages are obviously widely broadcast spam--I'm not sure if I got them because of the occasional AMLO posts on this blog or because I sometimes e-mail people in Mexico. Or maybe they're spamming everybody. Has anybody else gotten e-mails like these?
The basic gist of these e-mails and other anti-AMLO messages I have seen is similar to what we heard from Florida in 2000--proving that elections are fair isn't worth rocking the boat. "Stability" before democracy.
