Do you support the overthrow of Maduro in Venezuela?

[MADem]

67. Nothing special about Cabello?

Do your google--he's been with Chavez since the BEGINNING. Do you even know anything about that country? I'm starting to think you don't. Cabello and Chavez differed on one issue--Diosdado isn't as in love with Cuba as Hugo was. Of course, Cuba spent a year lying to Chavez about how serious his cancer was, and another year torturing the man with cruel and unusual treatments, and who knows how many weeks abusing his dead corpse with "life support," so I can understand Cabello's reasoning.

This isn't a case of what I'd "like"--if it were up to me, I'd throw them all out and start fresh, to include all the fucking corrupt generals. But realistically, that's not going to happen, so one has to dance with the ones what brung 'em.

If VZ wants to continue down the "Bolivarian" path, the best way to make that happen is for Maduro to resign and hand the reins over to Rangel, and let Diosdado run for office. If Diosdado can get endorsed by Lopez, maybe by promising him a role in economic affairs or something of that nature, he can probably keep the country on a modified Chavista path, without the stupid-ass rhetoric and without the gross corruption. The FIRST thing that needs to happen is to get a handle on the horrific shortages of basic consumer goods--if that can happen, there's a hope in hell of hanging on to the "Chavez way." If not, the people will welcome ANY change, even if it involves crackdowns and austerities, so long as they believe there will truly be a light at the end of the tunnel.
