MalarchoBidenism

When people told me they hated dying in a nuclear holocaust or (far worse) that they were “not fans,” I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: “I love dying in a nuclear holocaust. I am in awe of it. I am set free by it. It will be the finest event our galaxy has ever seen.”

I guess we doin 🌌 now

What if Trump getting shot at just becomes his thing, like how Bolsonaro's thing is being hospitalized

It would be extremely embarrassing if people found out I just shit my pants. For this reason I will keep that information a secret and not tell anyone about how I just shit my pants.

Didn't he interview MrBeast on that video? I recall him showing rows of thumbnails with the same fake forced smile in every one and being like "we found that videos with this face performed better in the metrics"

"The Israeli military has admitted that the munition that struck a highway near Nahariya in Western Galilee, critically injuring one settler, was an Iron Dome interceptor missile that malfunctioned."

Critical support for the Zionist entity in the struggle against the Zionist entity.

They did give the number of votes though, they read them out loud https://xcancel.com/cneesvzla/status/1817953254208110756

Those numbers are actually very boring because it's just someone taking the estimated, rounded percentages and extrapolating using the total number of votes.

There is zero reason to do this. What are the estimates based on? Why estimate percentages at all? Just count the votes and give us the corresponding percentages. You're telling me they knew the exact total number of votes but not the exact number of votes each candidate got? But somehow still had enough information to estimate percentages closely matching the final results? Why is everyone pretending this is not weird lol.

I even double checked where the numbers came from, thinking maybe a journalist calculated them from the CNE's percentages or something. But no, the CNE straight up officially said Maduro got 5,150,092 votes. They also don't give the total number of votes, meaning that number was obtained by adding up the results given by the CNE, and not the other way around as you suggested.

You're right that US elections are a sham. If the 2020 Iowa caucus happened in a Latin American country the would have done their usual seriously-concerned-about-the-legitimacy-of-this-election routine. That's irrelevant to whether Maduro cheated or not though.

those numbers were probably obtained using the percentages, not the other way around

Well yeah, that's my point, that's extremely suspicious. The numbers given by the CNE were supposedly the exact number of votes counted so far, that's how election results are presented everywhere. Why would they have access to the total percentages but not the vote count? How would the percentages even be known without also knowing the exact number of votes each candidate got?

I feel like a lot of us here struggle to reconcile that

A) the US has a long history of using "freedom and democracy" as a purely cynical, hypocritical and often straight up false (they called Allende a tyrant lmao) excuse for imperialism

and B) sometimes anti-imperialist leaders really are undemocratic, partially as a defense mechanism against imperialist aggression and partially because they aren't very good leaders and their incompetence leads to popular discontent (which is further exploited by imperialists to the point that it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins)

I guess what I'm saying is you can be glad Maduro didn't get couped and replaced with Venezuelan Javier Milei, you can be 100% against sanctions and cynical US attempts to "democratize" Venezuela, but you don't need to pretend like there was nothing suspicious about this election. Just look at the vote counts released by the CNE on July 29 I mean come on lol, bro is regimemaxxing with these percentages

Economic crisis got me like but Wall Street feeling afraid got me like

We should decouple these two things somehow
