    I would have the tiniest bit of respect for Maduro if he had just told everyone that democracy was suspended and that he was dictator for life and stop making fools of his voters, neighbouring countries and international institutions. At least this would not destabilize the democracies in the rest of SA. Maybe the next Bolsonaro will try this new trick to stay in power and you people will eat it up if he says “US bad”. It’s so easy.

        No, the idea here is not to pretend to be a democracy and to go when you lose that’s all. The Saudis and the Cubans in charge can do whatever they want while their people let them.

        (I can’t see what you said anymore, btw)

            I don’t listen to the US on this issue, they are not an honest broker. I listen to Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Uruguay, etc. Hay más mundo y intenciones por ahi que solo los Estados Unidos y a la maioria no les gusta lo que está haciendo Maduro.

              I’m not disagreeing with the idea of protesting the results. I’m just replying to your statement that the us is not bad

                  People thinking a country financing conflicts everywhere isn’t bad are idiotic

                    I’m not sure who you’re arguing against. You’re attacking a strawman you created in your imgination. Go back and find the quote where I said “US not bad”.
