Sanders should do the AMLO and found a new party modeled following his ethical views. He will die soon, don't bury his ideas with him.

They should come to Mexico.

You'd probably like Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys. You may also wanna try Nujabe's Modal Soul.

Well, they are kind of solitary animals. No one will warn them about something big getting close from behind.

Interestingly, "vaccine" comes from the latin vaccīnus which means "from the cow".

I'd argue here that right next to Trump, it is the electoral college. But, as Americans can't do anything to change their electoral system, they are probably already owned. If it isn't Trump, it will be another Trump-like candidate, whether Republican or Democrat.

Recalled this case that is getting public attention in Mexico. Queretaro, a state in the Bajio region of Mexico known by its conservative ideas, is using their attorneys to try to make a 14 yo child to pay 26,000 USD in damage repair to her rapist, because she suffered a miscarriage. The state attorneys also demand her to go to prison for three years.

Publicly, and in the media, the girl is known as "Esmeralda". I'm sorry I couldn't find a note in English about this case to link. The thing in common between both situations is a corrupted institution that's supposed to protect the people.

They are forced. They fight against the Ukrainian Army for their survival, because being drafted means they will probably die at this point. If they could keep avoiding the army, they would probably survive until this madness ends.

You can have your side on this and think Ukraine is fighting for survival, but that's a point of view, an idea. Some facts are:

  1. Ukraine is currently loosing this war. It's even territorial.
  2. Ukraine is loosing support from their allies. And if Trump wins, which is somehow plausible, they'd be practically alone.
  3. Recently drafted citizens are just that, they are not soldiers. With their morale, they probably aren't even fighters.
  4. A good chunk of the remaining Ukrainian people don't want to fight no more.
  5. Drafting more inexperienced citizens will at best slow down the course of the current events.

Argument: War is almost lost. People are finite.

It also sounds like "malo" in Spanish which means "bad".

Wouldn't say anything. I'd think about this song: "I took her to an elevator, I don't know why but it had to start in somewhere, so it started there".
