The US secretary of state insists Venezuelans' votes in the recent presidential election "must count".

…

His intervention comes as the presidents of Brazil, Mexico and Colombia all called on Venezuela to release the full details of last Sunday’s election.

…

It has also attracted global criticism, with many governments around the world demanding the Venezuelan government release proof of the result.

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

But, the US, European Union and other G7 countries have called on Mr Maduro’s government to release detailed voting data.

    2 things are true here:

    1. The US and Blinken are notoriously villainous bad faith actors
    2. Maduro is a fascist dictator

    The best information I have seen says Maduro lost. I don’t know anything about the opposition party, maybe they would be worse for Venezuela, maybe not. It doesn’t seem like either party is acting in the best interest of the people, they’re stuck with having to choose which axis profits from their natural resources.
