    They tried, but the last two elections were massively fraudulent, and it’s hard to have a revolution when the army is behind the regime.

    But this isn’t the solution. As my Venezuelan friend said:

    But ok, maduro captured, and theeeeen? Not like he’s the only one. Delcy Rodriguez, Jorge Rodriguez, Diosdado Cabello, General Padrino Lopez, and there are 200+ more people that need capturing

      There’s also a massive fraud behind the fraud: there was a huge fake polling and disinformation campaign designed to make it look like there’s more support for the capitalists and right wingers than there is. Like…yes…the election was fake…but where the fuck are these 80% support for his opponent numbers coming from? None of these numbers match what’s on the street.

      If you dig through the bullshit…elections would be close…far from the landslides either side promise.

      All that we’ve learned here is that in Latin America the USA really really doesn’t like losing its investments. A lesson we already learned 20 times. Soon most of it will just be Puero Rico with less influence.

      Now it’s going to be a Civil War, and we will back whichever side will allow Trump to take control of the oil.
