    Maduro being a figurehead isn’t a problem, it’s a good thing. The alternative would be the destabilization of Venezuela and the coup by a Milei-like libertarian who would give every inch of Venezuelan soil to US corpos and destroy worker rights.

      If anything, it clearly shows he isn’t the dictator US claims he is, so maybe it’s time for the clueless to doubt rest of that mountain of bullshit spewed against him and Venezuela.
