i think you can be as critical about the venezuelan opposition and maría corina and edmundo as you want but arent venezuelans allowed to choose for themselves even if the options arent perfect? are you willing to justify electoral fraud and police brutality, class inequality, bad management of resources, lack of maintenance of the country, breach of the law, lack of investment in health services and education etc etc just because the person doing it is someone you like or because you don't like the other option? are people at fault for wanting something different?

#i don't like idolizing politicians either in fact i dont think anyone should #a government official being good to the people would literally just be doing their job #but there are reasons for how much people love maría corina as of now and it's because shes one of the few members of the opposition #that has not completely given up on us or just sold themselves to the regime #from the days of chavez and when nobody would pay attention to her or think she would accomplish anything #people are allowed to have hope #and im very sick of this tendency to dehumanize other countries(particularly those from the third world)#and act like they cannot defend themselves or choose for themselves #when they try they are told not to and to let others do the job. how fair is that?? who are you helping?#if maría corina and edmundo fail us it would just turn into what we are already living through. we know it already #if they keep their promises and things go well or at least better then yay!#but we know what's going to happen under maduro #the country will keep deteriorating until everybody either dies or leaves #or people will keep living miserably #i thought people liked the idea that you shouldnt have to work out of your ass to have your neccesities covered!#well people are exploited here on the daily and don't have access to half things they need #let alone pursuing their dreams. theyre not allowed to dream #it's either we die or we don't die for me #i want to see my country healing thats all. you think maduro will give us that? absolutely not #it's always like this with countries that others view as just a land of natural resources or as a land of dumb poor people to project onto #just allow us to see where this goes. it's what the people chose. respect it.#oh ok vent over #Venezuela #this is very messily written i havent had breakfast yet #not to mentionnnnnnnn people on other places know what it's like having to choose for the lesser evil but when vzla does it it's wrong. lol #chavismo is not going to save anyone other than the regime. even chavistas themselves die under it #a lot of us were born under chavismo and want to see life outside of it
