Saagar sighed so hard when Grim said how amazing the socialist government was doing 😂 7:46

R.I.P. Michael Brooks, this story would've been heavily in his ballpark.

Bolivia's right wing coup never had a chance in a legitimate election. Congratulations to the people of Bolivia!

Ryan: “What happened was nothing short of a miracle...”
Saagar: (very audible sigh) 😏

[CB-ggmi]

I always enjoy seeing ryan at a different location in his house at each appearance, trying to escape his kids vocal range.

[Denitakis]

Does Saagar remember when he himself smeared Evo Moralez? I do remember that video. In your face, Saagar.

Someone should ask Elon Musk how he feels about this.

[considerthis]

You should have gotten Max Blumenthal or Anya Parampil to talk about this. They went to Bolivia specifically for this election.

[RealityHurts]

What's is the difference between Bolivia and the United States? The people of Bolivia realized that suffering together means rising up together against the oppressive upper class. We as Americans see our common suffering as our own doing while putting our oppressors on a pedestal.

FFS, Krystal! Venezuela's government had *ALSO* been successful economically and has raised millions out of poverty -- just like in Bolivia. *_Before getting hit with US sanctions._* 😤

[NotSure]

The Venezuelan gvt is not a "failed" one Krystal... it is one hit hard by the US sanctions

[mrunderhill]

finally some good news for the people of the world - well done Bolivians, now keep it honest please - the world is watching...

[riverstyx]

This is very encouraging news! We could learn something about class struggle in this country from the people of Bolivia.

[ChukBuk]

You really should invite Glenn Greenwald in to comment on the Bolivian election.

[fairdose]

Silicon Valley are going to cry foul when lithium prices go up and benefit the people of Bolivia instead of pumpkin spice latte yoga moms using their iPhones to sell their Lululemon pants on Poshmark apps.

[kalsangdrolkar]

This was THE BEST NEWS!!!! I've heard in a very long time!!!!

[martell]

Elon Musk’s tears will fill the oceans!

Benito Juarez was the first indigenous person to be elected president after the European colonization of this hemisphere. Mexico in the 1860s.

I FEEL BAD FOR THE AMERICAN NO DEMOCRACY, ALL THE RESOURCES GOING TO THE BIG CORPORATIONS, HEALTH CARE IS THE WORST, BOLIVIA HAD ALL FREE HEALTH CARE

[CauofrmDbloc]

I love that subtle shot at trump😂, Sagar had nothing to say
