When Mexicans arrive at voting booths next year to elect their judges for the first time, they face a unique and daunting task.
In the capital Mexico City, voters will have to choose judges for more than 150 positions, including on the Supreme Court, from a list of 1,000 candidates that most people have never heard of. For each of the 150 posts, space will be allotted for voters to write out individually the names of up to 10 preferred candidates.
Without makeshift solutions such as dividing up the judges into subdistricts, it could take 45 minutes just to fill in the ballot papers, one analyst estimated. Even with such fixes, voters will still have to choose from many dozens of unfamiliar names.
"It's impossible," said Jaime Olaiz-González, a constitutional theory professor at Mexico's Universidad Panamericana. "In no country, not even the most backward, have they proposed a system like this." The vote will be the culmination of a drive by the country's leftwing nationalist president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, to radically overhaul a branch of the state that has frequently angered him by blocking his plans.

There's gonna
be a Second 
American-Mexican War just because Mexico 
keeps going 
further and further into becoming a weird 
Narco-Communist State 
while also trying to make a new Panama Canal and the US is simply going 
to chimp the frick out.

I think latinx incompetence will halt any chances of bvilding another canal tbqhwyf. Nicaragua also wants to do the same but it will also won't end up doing shit. Though it's funny that both of xem in any case will be bvilt by chinese, where xey have learned xeir lesson and will just use chinese workers for every phase of the construction
. (Also mexico has been dipping xeir toes in BYD imports a lot lately, in contrast to the US imposing high tariffs on xem)

Electing judges has to be among the most r-slurred populoid shit conceivable.
Mexico is imitating Bolivia, reminds me of rhe Chilean leftoids whose constitutional draft was basically the Bolivian Constitution, plurinational nonsense included.
!neolibs LATAM leftoids unironically cite Bolivia as a role model of "functional" Latin-American socialism.

this is lowkey an easy way bait progressive or occasionally conservneurodivergent normies without being overtly trolly. Riling up rightoids is a little more context dependent, but with all the recent Trump trial stuff they're pretty ready to get bent out of shape over it. Try it at Thanksgiving

What chu mean? Electing judges is r-slurred. are you saying I should
pretend to be r-slurred 
to rile people up?

No, I'm saying the opposite. Articulate that you're grateful we have appointed judges who are empowered to rule without bias and independent of partisan electoral politics, and watch 8/10 of your relatives sneed about it.
These days, most (this is anecdotal) politically-engaged burgers are populist tards of one stripe or another, so enthusiastic support of the relatively idiot-
proofresistant American system of government makes a lot of Americans vv madJump in the discussion.

Considering how r-slurred democracy is in real countries, i can't imagine latinx democracy amounts to anything more than whoever disburses the most coca cola and tacos wins. The blind robbing the blind blind, while they throw them some gibs

Same was as it works in the US, r-slurs robbing r-slurs. Except in the US there's a semi-functional impartial justice system to hold people accountable when they defraud the government

Very drama-pilled!
In my city the judges are elected on a nonpartisan basis. Hopeful lawyers often register for the election and crowd the room at city hall where their names on slips of paper are drawn from a coffee can to decide what the order on the ballot will be. If their ballot position is too low, they usually withdraw their candidacy—maybe next time. :marseydemocracylove:

You know, this comment was posted from the wrong alt. I have to keep my fetish separate from my other accounts specifically because of PEOPLE LIKE YOU. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING ATTRACTED TO SHARKS AND THAT HAS NO BEARING ON THIS ARGUMENT. This is fricking 2017 it shouldn't even have to be said, but FRICK!!!!!
What does have bearing on this argument is objective facts. Facts like: a low shoulder to waist ratio being attractive on human females.
Facts like: juicer bullies like you are what's wrong with the world of fitness.
Facts like: you and your little "fitnesscirclejerk" buddies are too busy staring at men's asses to know an attractive woman if she swam up to you in anthropomorphic-shark form and let you frick her on a cold, windy cape cod beach.
Facts like: you're too busy thinking about the gym and where you're gonna get your next steroid fix to realize that I'm on seddit learning stuff that's gonna help ME get the girl of YOUR dreams.
Wake up, bud. Your a frickin' pathetic excuse of a man. I might not be as big as you. I might never be as big as you cuz I have too much honor to stick a needle in my butt. But I'm twice the man you'll ever be, sharktits and all.
