Machado is a traitor to her own people. I hope she gets what’s coming to her.

Well we’re on the same page. I don’t know about the others.

The initial comment I made was that his election being fair and democratic was debatable, which is true. Then everybody went apeshit trying to defend him with whataboutisms. That’s the problem.

Well we all know about the US gouvernent and their crimes.

But why can’t anybody here acknowledge that Maduro was a crook himself? He had to go, but he rigged the system against it.

I mean if we were talking about Chavez, that guy had his people’s well being at heart. And I have a lot of respect for that man.

But Maduro I can’t defend. And it seems to me like the people here are defending him, and argue and downvote in bad faith. If a leader is a bad person,  no matter where they stand on the political spectrum, they shouldn’t be defended from any criticism.

Well, yeah. But one doesn’t cancel the other.

To be fair,  I don’t exactly trust the other sources that say he didn’t receive the majority of the votes.

That being said, that doesn’t change the fact he was corrupt and was living in luxury and was well fed while Venezuelans were hungry and poor.

The only thing I admire about him is sticking up to the US, being an economic partner to Cuba and standing in solidarity with Palestinians.

“Democratically elected” that’s debatable.

Well… he wasn’t exactly innocent.

I don’t condone what happened, but Maduro was not a great man either.
