And cue an attempt to blame the United States for a corrupt, authoritative regime rigging an election amidst a failed economy of their own making in 3. 2. 1.

There's an overhead shot of the city with various patches of smoke.

Pretty nuts. Those are the types of shots you see in a zombie film.

Judging by the exit polls, 70/30, it seems far more people are over Maduro than for.

Nope. Fuck Maduro. It is possible to acknowledge that the US previous involvement in the region as the reason that people distrust any narrative the US the has on any subject there, while simultaneously acknowledging that Maduro is a piece of shit. Maybe not for you, but for some of us it is.
US criticizes clear election fraud.
Response: Who cares, MURICA BAD
Me: What about all the other countries calling it out? Did America force them to do it too?
Response: MURICA BAD.
How am I supposed to take this? If every response to criticism of Madura is "But MURICA BAD", how do I take it as anything but a deflection?

Acknowledge the facts of us involvement in the region. We have absolutely done fucked up shit in south america.

But Maduro is quite obviously incredibly unpopular and this election is causing unrest. I think its silly to try to claim the US is involved in this specific instance

I think both political extremes tend to lead to authoritarian fascism. But theres no denying that what he used to represent were leftist ideals. Main problem as usual is the corruption.

He never did. Once Chavez died, he stopped the socialism aspect and started funneling money to himself at an even higher rate.

Chavez sucked. Maduro is nothing like Chavez however.

It doesnt change the fact though. Anyway, Im well aware that US has been trying to get rid of Maduro for decades now. The vast amounts of oil, the dozens of millions of new consumers awaiting to get their hands on apple products and frappuccinos (have no idea of there are SBs in Venezuela, but you get my point), its obvious theyd love someone whod play ball with the US.

But in this case both things can be true. That US wants to destabilize Venezuela and that its people are tired of the conditions theyre living in, specially when a good chunk of the population remembers a "golden age" of prosperity.

IT's NOT! I don't care if MURICA is literally the most evil hellpit spawned from the Devil's own loins, It doesn't change the fact that Maduro has been a leech draining his country dry for a decade and has committed voter fraud so obvious you can see it from fucking orbit.

"MURICA BAD" is not a get-out-of-jail card
