    The high court is packed with Maduro loyalists and has almost never ruled against the government.

      Fuckin serious up

      Imagine to yourself what the Venezuelans should do about this, to safeguard their future. Let Maduro win and hope for the best? Peaceful protest? War? What should they do? Really think it through, with the comfortable objectivity of distance and safety.

      And then, get fuckin ready. We got 3 more months. My best quick recommendation is, allies. Allies in the real world who are marching, working, voting, putting time in. Solidarity will help you resist, and if the resistance fails, they’ll help you survive.

      Also: Vote. Are you registered? vote.org

    Gabriel Boric, the leftist president of Chile and one of the main critics of Maduro’s election gambit, lambasted the high court’s certification.

    “Today, Venezuela’s TSJ has finally consolidated the fraud,” he said on his X account referring to the initials of the high court. “The Maduro regime obviously welcomes with enthusiasm its ruling… there is no doubt that we are facing a dictatorship that falsifies elections.”

    Clearly a fake leftist /s
