another nobody talking about the coup
Jesus Christ "escalating violence that has claimed at least 30 lives" aka the military/police murdered 30 people after the illegitimate president told them they would not be punished no matter what they did. Fucking insane shit from the New York Times.
more non coupy things
weird you forgot the part where the president agreed to new elections after the OAS came out with their recommendation, but was then deposed by the military anyway, and that the new self-declared president gave the military permission to murder protesters. Why did you forget that part?Let me see if I get this right (not about the coup but another point brought up in this thread):
- the leader of a South American country, having run up against presidential term limits, puts the question to the people about said term limits in a referendum but loses. He says he will accept this, but then goes to court arguing his first term didn't count because it was under a different constitution. He wins and is allowed to run again but after the election the result counting stops unexpectedly then resumes 24 hours later and he is declared the winner.
-my initial questioning of the legitimacy of said election was apparently due to a vast conspiracy by western (and US in particular) news coverage conspiring to work against that president and not all of the above.
Was not talking about the coup, was talking about the initial news coverageweird you forgot the part where the president agreed to new elections after the OAS came out with their recommendation, but was then deposed by the military anyway, and that the new self-declared president gave the military permission to murder protesters.

also, the counting was completely standard. The quick count is not the official result and Morales’s numbers improved as rural areas reported; exactly as they were expected to.
Venezuela is a dictatorship, but this one appears to be one as well.Remember, Venezuela is the dictatorship, because reasons.
That's not the rationale for the ruling of the Bolivian SCOTUS. They ruled that term limits were unconstitutional because they unreasonably limited the electorate's right to choose.Let me see if I get this right (not about the coup but another point brought up in this thread):

When you alone are Righteous, all things are permissible to thwart Unrighteousness."Totes not a coup and we support democracy and free speech," says the people arresting their political opposition and murdering citizens for their speech.
But let's think more about the word coup. It kinda seems like soup and what do we call America? A melting pot. So, really they're just being more extra diverse, just like America where we have no problems at all that aren't caused by liberals so see this is the right thing to do; U-S-A! U-S-A!) and its totally not a coup. Also AOC, look her initials has two letters from the word coup so she's really the one trying to instigate a coup!"Totes not a coup and we support democracy and free speech," says the people arresting their political opposition and murdering citizens for their speech.
I'm not sure where you're trying to go with this, but just in case you're asking about the order of events, it's this:Let me see if I get this right (not about the coup but another point brought up in this thread):

Again, my point, and only point, is that with everything that I mentioned, it shouldn't be surprising if one were to believe that there was a problem with the election. I was responding to the feeling I had that those critical of the news coverage were also being a bit critical of those who believed that coverage to be truthful and accurate, again due to the many problems and changes that occurred before the election.Are you saying that Supreme Courts should not be allowed to make critical decisions about Presidential elections?
it’s not surprising if someone swallows American corporate media uncritically and is totally ignorant the long history of American interference in Latin American politics.Again, my point, and only point, is that with everything that I mentioned, it shouldn't be surprising if one were to believe that there was a problem with the election.

It's a standard right wing coup with supporting propaganda campaign. It's one of Uncle Sam's traditional favorites. It'll be a capitalist paradise before you know it. For the capitalists, of course.Again, my point, and only point, is that with everything that I mentioned, it shouldn't be surprising if one were to believe that there was a problem with the election.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if all those Lithium reserves are now for sale to the highest bidder.It's a standard right wing coup with supporting propaganda campaign. It's one of Uncle Sam's traditional favorites. It'll be a capitalist paradise before you know it. For the capitalists, of course.

This is what these people do around here. They drop these insane thread/headlines and then NEVER come back to them. They get the rest of us to post nearly 150 responses and enjoy the show. We just have to stop responding to these clear troll posts. Everything is doing EXACTLY as the OP wanted. They know they aren't going to change minds, they just want to get everything worked up.Weird that the OP is nowhere to be seen. He's probably painting the ceiling of his bedroom reading about all these indigenous people getting murdered.
Has this OP ever admitted he was wrong despite being proven such on a regular basis?Venezuela is a dictatorship, but this one appears to be one as well.
Looks like AOC was right in calling this a coup. I wonder if the OP will return to admit she was right and he was wrong?
