I guess this just goes to show that better technology does not imply progress.
One can simply use the technology to spread inflammatory lies that shed more heat than light on such a critical nat'l debate.

I like Lopez Obrador, especially when he promises to pay for poverty-reducing changes with reforms, not higher taxes...

For me, one of my litmus tests of whether or not I like a candidate is how he or she appears to treat "the least of these," i.e. the weakest members of society. From what I gather, Lopez Obrador seems to care deeply for the marginalized members of society. Seems like a decent bloke!

He comes across as an interesting candidate. I cringe when I read what the economists/experts have to say about him.
