    Here's the original tweet: https://twitter.com/aoc/status/1193973410793238528?lang=en. She definitely calls it a coup. I'm also personally skeptical of the firsthand accounts of pro-coup dipshits, which best I can tell is the only source that she "supported their grassroots movement."

    I agree that her statements about free and fair elections are weaselly and disappointing - but succdems gonna succ, especially in the imperial core. It's still a far cry from supporting the coup (Bernie's statement also fell back on vagueries about "respecting Bolivia's democratic institutions" rather than offering Evo and MAS full throated support).

    Corbyn's position was head and shoulders better, but he's always been a more principled anti-imperialist and supporter of global socialism than the social democrats we have here.
