Okay, let’s say he stole the election just for the sake of an exercise. There are a metric fuckton of regime change examples where the US meddled with the elections of other countries for their own gain. Is Venezuela now the magical example where the US government did it simply out of the goodness of their hearts? Or is this just a convenient scenario where Maduro needed to go and the US just happened to be the ones to do it and that’s somehow totally cool? I mean, fuck the approval of Congress, international law, etc. amirite?

Venezuela’s issues and elections are for Venezuelans to decide, not parasitic imperialist scum. The mental gymnastics to support this one are on an Olympic level of stupid.

Well, yes, but so were the mental gymnastics to support all the previous interventions.
