I helped organize campus protests against Iraq, I was interviewed on the news about it. Even at its worst and dumbest, the proponents had a (bullshit, fabricated) argument. This Venezuela thing is just…idk completely out of control? There’s no case being made at all

2- Billionaires are fundamentally incompatible with democratic rule of law and cannot be permitted.
