(24,010 posts)So why not give it up, and do something constructive--like explain to people WHY Chavez's VP, Nicholas Maduro, is going to win the April special election, despite all your efforts and those of the Corporate Media, and WHY Chavez's socialist party just beat the crap out of the RW opposition in the gubernatorial elections, and WHY leftist Michele Batchelet is going to win her second election as president of Chile, and WHY leftist Cristina Fernandez has won two elections as president of Argentina (and her Leftist husband two elections before her), and WHY leftist Rafael Correa just won re-election as president of Ecuador, by a big majority, and is the most popular president of Ecuador, ever, and WHY Evo Morales has won two presidential elections in Bolivia--the first Indigenous president of Bolivia (a largely Indigenous country)--ending Bolivian apartheid and securing Bolivian natural resources for the benefit of all Bolivians, and WHY Jose Mujica (leftist rebel, once tortured by the U.S.-backed fascist regime) was elected president of Uruguay, and WHY the once-armed revolutionary parties in Nicaragua and El Salvador are now running the governments of those countries, and WHY the Workers' Party is so successful in Brazil, producing two successive Leftist presidents (both of whom were tortured by U.S.-backed fascists)?
Hm? Why, Bacchus? Why this Leftist tide? Why are Venezuelan voters--in "the best election system in the world," according to Jimmy Carter--so fed up with "neo-liberalism" and U.S. domination and exploitation, that they keep electing the Chavez government and chavistas to undo it all? WHY is this occurring all over South America and into Central America?
THAT is the MISSING INFORMATION--the great big black hole--in the Corporate News and your posts. You and they keep hammering away at the same "talking points" over and over again--and Latin American voters just IGNORE this disinformation and keep electing Leftists! WHY?
Ah, there's the rub! They see things you don't see. What are they, Bacchus? Give us YOUR explanation for why Latin American voters are not blaming their Leftist governments for street crime nor for any of the other Corporate Media/RW opposition campaign "talking points"? What does the majority see that you and the Corporate Media are concealing? WHY do they keep ignoring you and voting for Leftists?
Really. I'd like to hear your explanation.
