I know I’ve expressed dislike for the guy in the past, but seriously? I thought for even something like this, he would at least have a good take on it.
the election was rigged.
What did he mean by rigged? Was it that people didn’t actually vote for maduro or was it just that maduro had an advantage?
I could probably rewatch it, and perhaps he wrote more on Twitter/his YT channel little blog area (whatever it’s called), but his evidence seemed to be, imo, circumstantial. Sort of like “normally this thing happens” (release of results and a tracking of how votes happened to my understanding) “it did not happen this time. That is weird and suspicious. Combined with Madura’s failures (in BE’s opinion: I really don’t know enough to hold much opinion), it seems likely he would lose and the hiding of the results suggests wrongdoing.”
He also mentioned some state suppression “worse than” the disappearances under the Argentinian dictatorship. That doesn’t seem like a statement he would make lightly based on his past videos/comments regarding the right wing crimes in Argentina.
So, if he’s exaggerating or just lying… it’ll be disappointing. I know people hate his abrasive personality (sort of by design by him to keep people away), but I do find his mainline videos interesting. Mostly just historical stuff about places I haven’t read much about or debunking some popular liberal stuff.
