(66,060 posts)36. Military coups do not respect any democratic institutions, period.
That's what nations constitutions are supposed to be about if there are major disagreements with the rule of an elected leader.
Whether you agree with Morales or not The Supreme Court in Bolivia ruled in his favor in regards to running again, he also had agreed to a recount just before the head of their military gave him "an offer he couldn't refuse."
Most Americans haven't cared for over a century what happens in regards to Central and South America but that number doesn't include vested corporate and oligarch interests.
All She Wants to Do Is Dance
Don Henley
They're pickin' up the prisoners
And puttin 'em in a pen
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
Rebels been rebels
Since I don't know when
And all she wants to do is dance
Molotov cocktail, the local drink
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
They mix 'em up right
In the kitchen sink
And all she wants to do is dance
Crazy people walkin' round with blood in their eyes
And all she wants to do is dance, dance, dance
Wild-eyed pistols wavers who ain't afraid to die
And all she wants to do is
And all she wants to do is dance
And make romance
She can't feel the heat
Comin' off the street
She wants to party
She wants to get down
All she wants to do is
All she wants to do is dance
Well the government bugged the men's room
In the local disco lounge
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
To keep the boys from sellin'
All the weapons they could scrounge
And all she wants to do is dance
Yeah, but that don't keep the boys from makin' a buck or two
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
The still can sell the army
All the drugs that they can do
And all she wants to do is
All she wants to do is dance
And make romance
Well we barely make the airport
For the last plane out
As we taxied down the runway
I could hear the people shout
They said, "don't come back here Yankee"
But if I ever do
I'll bring more money
'Cause all she wants to do is dance
And make romance
Never mind the heat
Comin' off the street
She wants to party
She wants to get down
All she wants to do is
All she wants to do is dance
And make romance
All she wants to do is dance

Perhaps because it wasn't a "coup" and Morales wasn't "overthrown". We went through this...

I'm sure the other candidates aren't interested in shaming themselves in praise of a dictator

Morales seemed to be trying to go beyond what the country's constitution allowed.
