No, they lost the 2024 election by a landslide, it’s one of the reasons of what happened today.

I don't belittle what VE has gone thru and I accept that something awful for you has been removed from the board.

Past that I would clarify that the current US leadership has little/no history of taking actions that are genuinely for others' welfare. The admin continually claims it is doing good. It's a continual stream, one after the other. By the time one is debunked (and they are), ten more are issued.

This method is dividing many Americans (by design) between those who believe the stream of claims and those being overwhelmed by the mountain of debunked falsehoods.

Maybe. But there is still popular support; and some of the elections Chavez won, he actually did win.

True, but that is irrelevant today, they squandered that support and people want a change now.

Irrelevant, Chavez died 13 years ago, a lot has happened and changed. Maduro lost the last election hard, he wrecked the support he inherited back then
