(9,086 posts)6. It's disgraceful how Hillary demonizes the democratic left in Venezuela
Whatever problems they have right now, it's clear the socialist party there are the ones responsible for bringing in this new era of respect for the constitution and electoral democracy.
It's a cruel joke for top US government officials to act like the elected leftist president is some threat to the elections or that they weren't going to respect the result.
