1. Excellent as long as it's peaceful
Peaceful protest to bring down the system of corruption is spot on! Shut down the country and the world will notice! Go Obrador

2. New Obrador voters in case there's a new election!
Not likely that there will be, I suppose, but if there were, I bet a lot of those drivers who voted for other candidates would vote for Obrador the next time around.

5. Excellent point, flyarm. Hadn't occurred to me, but they're totally
quiet about that.

It hits way too close to home, and not just geographically.

6. Another thing they're talking about
Is seizing the Mexico City airport to stop all incoming/outgoing flights. They also want to shut down the tourist resorts to deny the current Mafia the funds to steal this election! There are a lot more poor people than rich in Mexico, and thus outnumber the corrupt "elites" to the point of forcing the issue. Go Lopez!!!

7. The press has always been censored. When I lived there, we all
knew the press was censored.
