I don't think trying to make this whole thing black or white is helpful either.

I think it's perfectly possible to believe the following three things simultaneously:

1. Conditions in Bolivia have improved under Morales's term as president.
2. The actions taken by the opposition, particularly the far-right segment of it, are alarming and awful.
3. What Morales did during this election was shady and definitely has the appearance of corrupt/power seeking.

Well duh but "it isn't black and white but the coup is still extremely bad and a much worse outcome" is also a completely valid position.

It didn't seem like everyone in this topic was allowing for such an interpretation!

I mean this was exactly the point I was trying to get at yesterday!

And to echo your point (and reiterate what I said yesterday) if this was about a movement and not about clinging to power, he would've found a successor and campaigned for them rather than trying to get the voters to abolish term limits then going around the voters when he didn't get what he wanted.

I don't disagree with Tony's assessment that what Evo did was largely good. That was never my point. But it doesn't excuse him now doing bad things because of the good he did before.
