The Maduro government has waged a violent crackdown on Venezuelan civil society, violated the constitution by dissolving the National Assembly and was re-elected last year in an election many observers said was fraudulent. The economy is a disaster and millions are migrating. 1/3
The United States should support the rule of law, fair elections and self-determination for the Venezuelan people. We must condemn the use of violence against unarmed protesters and the suppression of dissent. 2/3
But we must learn the lessons of the past and not be in the business of regime change or supporting coups—as we have in Chile, Guatemala, Brazil & the DR. The US has a long history of inappropriately intervening in Latin American nations; we must not go down that road again. 3/3
The opposition has committed just as much if not more acts of violence than the govt, especially against the poor and minorities (similar to Brazil), yet you just parrot western media talking points
How about I help you out with a much more principled and clear statement, one not suffering from American chauvinism by virtue of not repeating any of US imperialism's talking points: All US diplomats out of Venezuela now! US hands off Venezuelan assets! US hands off Venezuela!
By the way .. if people didn't care to read your complete thread, it sounds like you are for the coupe. If you want to condemn the US interference. Do that in your first tweet in the thread. just opinion
Venezuela has arrested & charged over 100 police/military for suspected excessive force. But you cannot ignore the extreme violence by the (often armed) opposition, which is responsible for the vast majority of deaths. @AbbyMartin did a great report on ithttps://youtu.be/dtu1DwHo1Zg
Maybe we should focus on fair honest elections in the USA before we corrupt any more foreign elections?
Someone remind the Senator that former president Jimmy Carter himself called Venezuela’s elections among the most transparent in the Western Hemisphere. We don’t even provide a paper trail for our voters via receipt like the Venezuelan people do.
Bernie, the 2016 democratic primaries were rigged against you. You call that a fair election?
Have you by chance noticed what the French police have been doing to the protesters in France.
France also needs some independence right about now. @USAgov
