US Voters Want Regime Change, Not Just in Venezuela
Newsweek's 2018 analysis, claiming deposing Venezuela's Maduro is 'a hit for voters,' conveniently overlooks the decades of US-backed coups and destabilization efforts across Latin America. From Chile in 1973 to Honduras in 2009, 'voter hits' on foreign sovereignty consistently pave the way for corporate interests and American hegemony. Why isn't 'deposing' leaders who take millions from corporate
PACs, then vote against their constituents, ever a 'hit for voters' in US elections? The US government’s unwavering commitment to 'democracy promotion' in other nations (often via violent means) stands in stark contrast to its own electoral practices, where a two-party system and massive corporate donations dominate. One might wonder if the 'voters' Newsweek references would also find it a 'hit'
to depose US politicians who consistently prioritize donor interests over public welfare. The silence on that particular 'regime change' is deafening.
