It is clear what Venezuelans are in favor of; they just had an election. If you support undermining the election for their own good... who is the authoritarian here?
- aaron-lebo 9y agoIf you really believe what you are saying, you are great prey for authoritarians, so watch out and take care.
- abalone 9y agoEither you believe the election was unfair or you believe it was fair but we, the U.S., have the right to undermine it. The latter is trivially an authoritarian, anti-democratic stance, although unfortunately par for course in U.S. - Latin American affairs. If you think it was unfair, you're going to have to cite some evidence. I've cited independent observers who noted the very high transparency of Venezuelan elections, to which you really had no response.[1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15536102 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15536102
