(2,504 posts)We've literally overthrown legitimately elected leaders. Start with Iran. That's a pretty important one since we overthrew a democratically elected leader, and backed a tyrant whose overthrow pissed us off so much we are still mortal enemies with them.
Or how about a more recent one (that many on here would probably be fine with), helping the far-right opposition party in Venezuela. Through USAID we funded them to the tune $50 million. We also coordinated with them to get them to boycott the Constituent Assembly elections so they could later claim the elections were unfair. We funded the least popular opposition group whose leader would go on to declare himself president last year, despite that fact that literally 80%+ people in Venezuela have never even heard of him.
ETA: I realize most people on here hate Maduro, but that doesn't change the fact that it's meddling. Do some research on USAID and NED (National Endowment for Democracy). They do the kind of crap the CIA used to do directly back in the day.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
