Until the original tally sheets can be sent to me by trusted courier, I’m not sure I will believe the Washington Post’s so-called analysis. Smells like US imperialism again.
Imagine believing the mf WaPo, the most obvious of intelligence mouthpieces, on anything concerning foreign policy. Hate to say it but place is more packed full of chumps than Reddit.
Venezuela quality of life is so horrid right now, people are leaving everything and traveling thousands of miles to get away from it. It’s no wonder people would want their president out… but it’s the US imperialism that’s at fault, obviously.
Let’s follow this thought: Perhaps competent leadership would not have intentionally alienated a critical economic partner that is responsible for such a large aspect of their constituency’s quality of life, especially if there wasn’t serious ongoing work to obviate that relationship before cutting ties. The US still trades heavily with China despite disagreeing with the Chinese government ideologically, for instance.
I appreciate your point of view and you raise a decent point. In a perfect world. Bear in mind this is not USA themselves choosing not to buy oil from Venezuela, this is the USA using its dominant economy and weaponising the dollar by stopping anyone who wants to trade with the USA from purchasing Venezuelan oil. Now let’s look at the reasons it came about. Trade or land dispute or other ongoing disagreement? Nope, Venezuela’s domestic economic policies were the reason why. To call it anything other than naked imperialism is either denial, ignorance or collusion. And now (basically) the same people want to turn around and feign concern about democratic right and such. Come on now, I would expect to have to connect the dots on Reddit and such but not here.

Finally, one of the people I was parodying showed up. You left me twisting in the wind for 14 hours.
bro no one cares what you say or think
Ask for the official results Maduro is holding too, by the way. He won, so it should be easy.
Maduro cited the bible and stated “blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed” so what more proof do we need?

Venezuela’s quality of life took a nosedive because of US imposed sanctions chump.

It’s literally the direct consequence of US sanctions. That’s the literal goal of sanctions.
So Maduro’s response should be to falsely claim victory in the election? Or do you think he actually won?
Irrelevant to the point I’m making. We, the US, are the ones starving Venezuelans, not Maduro. Everything else is none of our business.
Ah yes, a critical thinker.
