You have Bernie Sanders, AOC

Yeah but they're basically relegated to side show characters by their party.

Fair point

Sheinbaum is better than those two, but not as much as you think. Her mayorship and her party have good relations with Israel, cooperated with the US in violence against migrants, and silenced protestors.

Yes, and I voted for Bernie when he ran and I would absolutely vote for AOC if/when she does run. Just… the choices in this election cycle are wanna-be, half-demented dictator-for-life vs a "moderate" Democrat who, while he's gotten a surprising amount done, isn't exactly renowned for pushing the corporations hard on climate change.

Honestly, the stuff he's gotten done over his career has been life changing for me. I hate that I have to give him credit for legalizing cannabis, but here we are.
