Vote for Maduro, or we cut off your food!

Translated from Spanish

"The Carnet de la Patria (Chavismo Loyalty Card) is a way to have each vote tied up. Right-wingers say that we’re threatening you with removing the CLAP bag if you don’t vote for us. And who gives those bags away? It’s Maduro! It’s not a threat. There would be no more bags if Henri Falcón wins here!” -- Diosdado Cabello



Well, I guess its safe to say the subtle nature of Chavismo to gather votes has been tossed. They are now so bold as to just come right out and say what the opposition has been accusing them for years. Threatening the population with starvation if they don't vote for Chavismo. They have made 90% of the country dependent on PSUV largesse.

Pure class this bunch. They would rather be kings of the cesspool than to lose power.
