    Maduro faked an election. In the past the US has interfered there. The US is offering a compromise to the autocrat (amnesty) in order for the will of Venezuelan people to be fulfilled. And ML people are mad because “US = bad, so must agree with everything opposite of US”, which in this case is an anti democratic dictator. Am I misunderstanding?

          It’s a giant strawman.

          Like how your comment claiming that nobody who distrusts the foreign policy actions of the US with regards to the leader of a country they’ve been fucking with since before most of us were born, has any reason better than being a Marxist-Leninist “US = bad” useful idiot is a giant strawman.

            Which comment are you referring to of mine?

            I’d like to posit the following: every nation, including yours, is doing things to advance the interests of itself over the interests of other nations.

            Now whether or not you or I agree on if the US has been involved in shady and underhanded things in the Americas, and I do agree they have, is irrelevant to the fact that this was not a free or fair election and the USA is not the only one saying this.

            Using the USA as the bogeyman to justify your arguments so you can ignore the rest of the world actually does seem like a straw man though.

            Regardless your opinions are fucked and your assertions are woefully uneducated and frankly when I put the period on this sentence and hit post I’m going to block you and improve my world.
