Never heard dictator let power go that easy

[FKYT]

The results will be rigged in his favor of course he will respect them

[libresdeverdad_]

He must respect the decision of the Venezuelan people who are above the electoral referee manipulated by him and his leaders. Why doesn't he say that he will respect the people's decision? because it doesn't suit him

There will be a coalition government of the centrist and right-wing parties that will perform very well in these elections.

The scenario is the same as in the former Yugoslavia: Yugoslavia had a dictator who protected the sovereignty of the State, the people were not rich and life was very difficult. Everyone wanted changes and democracy, the year 2000 was a revolution. A democratic politician, oriented towards the United States of America, became head of state. We were all happy, we thought better days would come. We were wrong, much more difficult days have arrived. The United States began to steal from us, took over our natural resources and people still live in poverty, the number of displaced people increased much more than during the time of dictator Slobodan Milosevic. Dear people of Venezuela, I see your destiny because I have seen it before. My advice is to put in power a man of the people who protects his country and its natural resources and who destroys crime in Venezuela. You are a country rich in oil and minerals, use it wisely. Don't let the Americans rob you in the future.

Venezuela is definitely going down the drain if they get to have Maduro for another term.

Need to get him handed over so the US can put him in prison with El Chapo
