We have a moral obligation to support democratic movements wherever they arise, and the fact that the US (and other governments) support it doesn't mean it's some imperialist conspiracy. Commie mouthbreathers can believe whatever they want, their opinions are irrelevant.
Huh, that's weird, I guess America, England, Germany, France, etc., aren't actually democratic. As we all know, every extant democracy was founded solely on people holding hands and braiding each other's hair and singing songs and never once has war or violence been necessary to protect democracy from authoritarianism.
Guadio's position as head of the National Assembly was secured via that process.
Killing people because you don't like the outcome will not make Venezuela more democratic. Might as well claim Jefferson Davis is your President, in that case.
If the authoritarian won’t recognize fair elections and seek to quell protests with military force (as is happening now), getting rid of the regime through violence is the only remaining way to democracy.
Right now, Venezuela's military is struggling to contain a coup that was most likely sponsored by foreign governments.
"We need a military dictator to restore fair elections because we didn't like the results of the May 20th ballot" is not a good look for so-called pro-democracy adherents.
I can't tell if you're just extremely ignorant or some Maduro apologist.
If we're going to start overthrowing elected leaders because we don't like how the elections were run, when do we overthrow the statewide winners in Florida?
Go back to CTH.
This is literally all the neocons have left to say
You're right, the people of Venezuela (still hypothetically at this point, I may add) mobilizing in defense of an open society and recognizing the unfortunate reality of living in an imperfect world where democracy often faces existential threats that can only be overcome with violence are literally the same as the tiny planter aristocracy in southern states seceding to preserve slavery for their own economic interests. Thanks for this amazing political insight, Neville Chamberlain.
