The people of Venezuela voted for this. Democratic socialism. Invading them isn't the solution. The man is lying when he says they're a threat.

Its pretty easy to blame an entire people when the entire process is corrupt to the core.

The Venezuelan government was democratically elected by the people to seize the means of production and ration out the benefits. The United Socialist Party of Venezuela instituted democratic socialism built on the socialist policies of Hugo Chavez.

This is socialism, it has lead to ruin and misery in many states before. At some point when its failed economic policies start leading to starvation, the people start revolting and it inevitably starts demanding more authoritarian power to maintain its control.

You have no idea how rigged things are. Please stop thinking the people actually have a say in thess cases. Its enforced on them and they know it. Voting is simply an excuse so the ignorant can claim that its all their own doing.

Bah, the Venezuelan election where they voted in socialists was legitimate. If it wasn't, the socialists would have lost. Drop the "waaah voting is rigged" act when it's not applicable. Nobody likes a whiner.

Venezuela's elections are as legitimate as USA's 2020.
