Good news from down south. Mexico, that is.

1. I want Obrador to take Mexico out of NAFTA if the US won't leave NAFTA
It's destroyed countless indigenous businesses down there and uprooted untold numbers of farmers. Where are they going as a result? The US. "Free trade" and NAFTA need to be re-examined or junked altogether.

3. I agree!
My ex-bf is a big fan of his. He told me a few years ago that Obrador would be president. I hope he turns out to be correct!
