Venezuelans who come to the US tend to be wealthier, in order to be able to get here, and have enough issues with their country in order to leave, issues that they will usually blame on the leadership.
None of this is to say Maduro has majority support, he doesn’t by most accounts, or that they don’t represent a sizable chunk of Venezuelans who don’t like Maduro, but that his support isn’t as non-existent over there as it is here.
It’d be like if Trump took over the US and you only got your views on what Americans think from expat communities in Canada. They would probably cheer his death, even if it was by a foreign empire, but that wouldn’t be representative of average Americans who probably wouldn’t like the foreign intervention, even if they don’t like Trump.
So poly sci says that all russians love putin? And kim jung un (or whatever his name is) is the most popular leader in the world?
There’s a big difference between winning a rigged election, and losing an election but staying in power anyway.
So then how does poly sci determine the will of the people when an election is rigged?
That’s the funny thing about Venezuela. The U.S. criticized Chavez’s election victories. So Chavez put in some of the best election infrastructure in the world. And because of that, it was abundantly clear that Maduro rigged his election.
That is the best part, it doesn’t.
The will of the people, lol
AKA what propaganda they have been spoon fed their whole life you mean…
