Thoughts on Venezuela election

[Anonymous]

After a quiet post-election day, protests have broken out this evening in a number of cities in Venezuela. Police are gassing protestors, some of whom have taken over military vehicles and toppled statues of Hugo Chavez.

This has important implications for our elections. If Venezuelans stop migrating and some migrants move home, that will be a huge win for the Biden administration and bodes well for Harris.

We can only hope. Most NYers are tired of having these people around. They have no means to support themselves and are only here bc of the “right to shelter” consent decree.

can you referendum to get rid of the decree?

This is great news. Hopefully the migration will begin to move towards Argentina. There is no reason that the USA has to be big brother and step out in front all the time. Let others get their fill. We need a break, don’t you think.

I think Venezuelans need a break. It's a beautiful country (physically) with many riches (natural). This country should be one of the richest and most well run in South America..I hope that the people.in the streets prevail - fighting a strongman is hard, and they keep trying to do it peacefully with elections..may they succeed.

It's a shame that Venezuela has become a 3rd world banana republic like the United States of America.

It is Putin's doing, and the deterioration is a root cause of the migration to the US, totally in coordination with the GOP (see Rubio and Scott's involvement in Maduro's re-election efforts)

I don't know, but I'm sure someone is looking into it. I wouldn't expect anyone to advance this idea until the Presidential Election is over. I think it would have a lot of support. They've had to put these migrants all over NYC, so it's not an issue that effects one borough and not another or one neighborhood and not another.

BS Not everything you don't approve of is Russia or GOP related. It's laziness of thought on your part.

They nationalized their oil industry and other industries in the name of socialism. They also confiscated land from companies and people and redistributed it. Their leadership pushed hard for nirvana through socialism and it ricochet hard on them.

Apparently we can count votes in another country faster than we can count them in Pennsylvania.

Sorry you don't understand how oil brings the oil producers including Putin and Maduro, together. Dig deeper.

Because Venezeula doesn't have th DOP telling certain counties they can't start counting or processing early ballots before election day.
