the remaining differences are mostly about aesthetics and not about the use of violence to maintain hegemony

    Has evidence on the vote tally stuff being fake come out? The whole thing is so plastered with imperialist propaganda it’s hard to find anything trustworthy.

      The only “evidence” I’ve ever seen cited (by western media of course) was all stuff the US does on a larger scale: blocking candidates from ballots, closing/changing polling places at last minute, etc (can’t remember the rest, it was too stupid to take seriously). I have however read several accounts that the elections were overseen by hundreds of world officials and has been repeatedly said to have been one of the most democratic elections ever.

      Hmm, believe this or the US who has been meddling in South America for 70+ years? 🤷‍♂️

        The blocking of certain candidates happend for good reason: Those were involves in assassination plots against the government and coup plots. Any other country would have jailed them or outright put them to the wall.

        Yeah I did hear that tons of observers said this, but if you search you only find articles with “independent observer says foul”.

        It’s honestly hard to resist the constant trolling / psychological terrorism by MAGA and the smarmy gaslighting by the “left”. Makes you “want to believe” the less painful option. I mean seriously it’s the exact same playbook trump used on Jan 6th lol.
