Venezuela update....

@BohoBabe The problem is that shrump became the populist long con for those that got tired of the leftist establishment swamp that has been around since the clinton 90's.

@NativePortlander1970 I wish that was true.

Just for future reference. Leftism is democratic and anti-capitalist. There is no leftist establishment.

@BohoBabe They control the mass media, they control the entertainment industry, they control education, those are by definition NOT democratic, as evidenced by blue states attempting tonkeep shrump off their ballots, btw attempting to control the elections are one of the 14 points of fascism, as well as controlling media and education, and they are establishment.

@NativePortlander1970 I wish all those lies were true.

Sadly, all of those institutions do every thing they can to keep out Socialism. That's why they all attacked Mamdani.

@BohoBabe Prove me wrong, show me actual tangible, unimpeachable non biased sources, Mandami is also the result of unfettered corporatism out of control, which the dems allowed to happen with their free trade obsessions, however Mamdami is autortarian totolitary marxism, not Socialism.

@NativePortlander1970
Which is the opposite of socialist economics.

Do you honestly believe anything you're saying? If Socialists actually controlled everything from the media to public education, don't you think we'd have Socialism by now? Mamdani wants to make the buses free, and even that is enough to turn the entire establishment against him. America has become so far right-wing, that even the ACA is considered socialist.

@NativePortlander1970 Have you ever been to Europe?? Have you seen what leftism actually looks like??

@ElwoodBlues I have zero desire to gontonthe homeland of the colonists that genocided my People.
