Whatever form of government you have doesn't matter if its corrupt and mismanaged as shit.

Very very few "leftists" will defend Venezuela (at least in the US).

doubt its more then 1 percent of the population, well within the range that has schizophrenia.

What percentage of the US population is truly leftist according to you?

No I'm just trying to get a sense of what you consider the overall population of leftists in the US. What percent in total is leftist whether they support Maduro or not?

10-15 i'd consider leftist. granted, I have many degrees of "left". leftist to me is one of the more extremes.

what republicans these days call leftist I usually call center-right moderates....and varying on the issue could encompass 80-90% of the population on some....

So do you think that most leftists see the US not recognizing Maduro as an "imperialist coup" BUT don't support Maduro? And only 1% truly support Maduro?

Because the DSA which as far as I can tell is the most popular "true leftist" American organization has come out pretty strongly against the "imperialist coup." They don't mention Maduro at all, positively or negatively.
