What makes Carter so special? The entire International community thought it wasn't legit and considering that nearly all supervisors of the electoral system work for the PSUV, most of us didn't bother voting last time.

Also, you talk like there was a peaceful way out of this. There hasn't been such a thing for quite a long time now. Not only did the government killed hundreds of citizens, but people continue to die by the day.

I remember that back in the day during the oil strike, Chavez agreed with Carter and the International community that there wouldn't be any retaliation against the workers, but when it ended Chavez got rid of a lot of them and left them without jobs....

What makes him discussing is his track record of certifying elections.

For example, the US presidential election wouldn't even be eligible for his programs certification, as they fail to meet multiple criteria.

You sound like you're looking forward to an invasion by the US. It is much worse than they show on TV. You should hope they don't decide to contaminate your country with DU rounds. Birth defects for generations.

It's surprising to hear someone who wants their country invaded by the local super power. If the US sets up shop; it won't leave for decades.

And you sound like quite the Maduro apologist. What part of the fact that most supervisors of our electoral system are socialists don't you understand? Most of us can see that and that's why we think our elections are bullshit. I don't support a full blown war with the US or another far right Caudillo who serves the US to show up. But if it helps us with an organized coup and it lets us choose our president later, then so be it.

I think labeling someone a Maduro apologist amounts to name calling.

I do not believe there is a correlation between being a socialist and being corrupt, although it does sound like corruption is rampant on all around in Venezuela. So you think the Venezuelan elections are bullshit, I don't see how a US led election after a unconstitutional coup could be more legitimate. US elections are some of the worst in the world.
