In case you're wondering why he'd admit to that, his first tweet in this thread was "Trump is very bad because he sucked at overthrowing Maduro and thus empowered an evil dictatorship"

Oh huh, hadn't read that story. I really recommend the RWN episode I linked above, because it does seem like there are some not great things that Maduro's gov't has done, it's just that it's not like they are more corrupt than the surrounding countries. A lot of US leftist discourse on Venezuela is one sided because the goal is to fight against all the propaganda and repeated coup attempts, which is good in that it might convince some Americans to not celebrate how their gov't keeps trying to start a civil war there, but bad in trying to figure out what exactly is true.
there was also some story about cuban doctors who wouldn't treat people until they agreed to vote for maduro. idk, the whole thing is fishy to me though im sure the govt has done some fishy things.
thanks for the links, im watching the prysner video right now and will get to the rwn one tomorrow.
Lol, that one sounds more made up than the others. If you have a job, your bosses know you and watch over you daily, so they could try and sway your vote, but if you're treating someone it's not like you're gonna follow up on who they voted for. Seems weird to me. Also, love how the Prysner video is age restricted for no conceivable reason, while the John Oliver clip he's critiquing isn't. Hmmmmm.
people were saying its cause he had a vid of someone being lit on fire? i dont believe thats the real reason why and just an excuse.
also im reading this ap article and it does smell fishy - because they were not asking him to vote for a specific party, just vote in general.
