Mexican elections, some thoughts triggered by them

The outcome of the elections in Mexico are in doubt. I now have some thoughts (I speak as a man not as the Lord) triggered by what little I have heard and red regarding these elections.

Certain big media outlets have labeled one of the candidates, we'll call him candidate A, a "leftist"; they have labeled the other candidate, candidate B, a "rightist". Thus they simplistically conclude candidate B would be better for Mexican business, better for USA business interests, because they have labeled him a "rightist".

In contradiction of such simpletons: the big media outlets who label these candidates, and then assume on the basis of such labels that the "rightist" is better for business, are famous for their lack of analytical sophistication; the simpletons fail to understand that "rightists" make their money selling to their "leftist" countrymen; these simpletons are deluded by impermanent stages of economic history wherein the rightists and business interests are able to prosper even though the leftist consumers of their nation have been economically destroyed, because the nation in question is borrowing money from and sellling assets to foreigners; the element of society that supports the rightists is famous for it's effete lack of national loyalty; the leftists are the vanguard of the opposition to national demise, because they are the ones who will suffer first and suffer most as the national economy declines.

Human nature being what it is, the man who has a lion right on top of him five yards away is more concerned about the man who is a mile from a lion even if both men will eventually be eaten by the lion.

The simpletons who label candidates "rightists" and thusly assume these "rightists" will be better for business interests, remind me of disagreeable fat sixth grade students, going "ballistically" foreign on their leftist countrymen (meaning they are filled with a petulant contempt for their "leftist" countrymen, as a result of which they enact policies that economically weaken their own nation and also the "leftists" of their nation while at the same time these economic policies benefit foreigners.

The rightist simpletons end up destroying and damaging their own families and posterity by destroying the economies of their own nations.
