Vice President Kamala Harris
@VP
The United States stands with the people of Venezuela who expressed their voice in today’s historic presidential election. The will of the Venezuelan people must be respected. Despite the many challenges, we will continue to work toward a more democratic, prosperous, and secure future for the people of Venezuela.



Such hollow words.....   I look forward to how the MSM asks her what she would do about it......  (uhhhh....nevermind)

Does she side with Maduro or the opposition?
Oh never mind. It’s Kamala Harris
She probably thinks the "will of the people" was Maduro, despite his opponent getting over 60% of the vote.

Agree

If this turns out to be true, and Venezuela starts the march  away from its socialist policies, it can be a thriving country once again

Venezuela is an oil rich country. Chavez thought he could pay for all his social spending through oil revenues, but that failed spectacularly


I have my fingers crossed for the good people of Venezuela, who have suffered enough

I know several people who spent most of their working lives in Venezuela before Chavez showed up. It was a great place to live and work back then.

Oil rich doesn't cover it, quite. They have the largest oil reserves of any nation, even if it is low gravity (heavy) high sulfur crude.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

 The Maduro dictatorship has just signed the arrest warrant against opposition leader Maria Corina Machado (she wasn't even the candidate running against him, because they saddled her with corruption charges):

Well, that depends how the administration defines "Democracy"

"Democracy" to the administration simply means keeping Democrats in power for eternity

Venezuelans are raiding warehouses controlled by Maduro’s forces and they’re finding massive stockpiles of medicines and food. It’s becoming evident the regime was keeping it all to themselves to manufacture artificial shortages and make the public dependent on the regime.

Only end to dictatorship in Venezuela is that Maduro must die.  When he does, another can take over and maintain the dictatorship.  It really requires a spirited leader that wants to bring freedom to the people.  Totalitarian governments are difficult to end.  Look at Russia.  People thought with Yeltsin Russia had cast the yoke of totalitarianism off their back, and then along comes Putin, a brutal totalitarian that kills anyone that is open and against him, even when they are in other countries.

Watch the live feed some.  Kind of tough to gauge the crowd, but I'd venture 10,000 at least?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

An aid worker’s airport disappearance stirs fear of repression following disputed Venezuela election
 By  JOSHUA GOODMAN and REGINA GARCIA CANO
Updated 12:21 AM EDT, August 8, 2024

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The last time anyone heard from Edni López was Sunday. The 33-year-old political science professor and award-winning poet was preparing to board a flight to Argentina to visit a friend when she texted from the airport that something was wrong with her passport.

“Migration took my passport because it’s showing up as expired,” she wrote her boyfriend in the message shared with The Associated Press. “I pray to God I don’t get screwed because of a system error.”

What happened next remains a mystery — one contributing to the climate of fear and repression that has engulfed Venezuela following its disputed presidential election, the most serious wave of human rights abuses since Latin America’s military dictatorships in the 1970s.

When López’s mother, Ninoska Barrios, and her friends learned she didn’t board the flight, they started frantically combing detention centers. Finally, on Tuesday — more than 48 hours later — they learned she was being held, incommunicado, by Venezuela’s feared military intelligence police on unknown criminal charges, unable to see an attorney or speak with her family. ...

How do you get rid of a dictator who has iron fisted control over elections and only his supporters are armed?

LMAO asks:
"How do you get rid of a dictator who has iron fisted control over elections and only his supporters are armed?"

I'll presume you asked a serious question, so I'll answer with a serious answer:
Hire Mossad to make him disappear with extreme prejudice.

Because it would upset the left-wing/democrat party narrative.

Exactly. The heart of the issue in Venezuela is centered on QUESTIONING THE OFFICIAL RESULTS OF A PRESDIENTIAL ELECTION.

Our media doesn't like that kind of thing inspiring Americans to question the already decided outcome of our November election.

Exactly, and the last thing the dim party wants right now is a primer and narrative of what happens after an election is stolen.....  twice.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
