Let me see you lie about that.
Gauido told his supporters to not vote. Because he knew he could not win a democratic election.

@Metal-Brain saidMB: Jimmy Carter once praised Venezuela for being one of the best democracies in the world. If that has changed make your case with legit sources of info, not just saying it without proof.
You failed to post your source. 90% of the time that means it is a lie.
I never have a problem posting my sources because I don't have to lie.
Surely you have noticed people make up crap all the time on here. And I never use google. google sucks dick.
Well here's what the Carter Center said about the 2024 election:
"Venezuela’s 2024 presidential election did not meet international standards of electoral integrity and cannot be considered democratic.
The Carter Center cannot verify or corroborate the results of the election declared by the National Electoral Council (CNE), and the electoral authority’s failure to announce disaggregated results by polling station constitutes a serious breach of electoral principles.[They still haven't done so - no1]
Venezuela’s electoral process did not meet international standards of electoral integrity at any of its stages and violated numerous provisions of its own national laws. The election took place in an environment of restricted freedoms for political actors, civil society organizations, and the media. Throughout the electoral process, the CNE demonstrated a clear bias in favor of the incumbent.
Voter registration was hurt by short deadlines, relatively few places of registration, and minimal public information. Citizens abroad faced excessive legal requirements to register, some of which appeared to be arbitrary. This effectively disenfranchised most of the migrant population, resulting in very low numbers of voters abroad.
The registration of parties and candidates also did not meet international standards. Over the past few years, several opposition parties have had their registrations changed to leaders who favor the government. This influenced the nomination of some opposition candidates. Importantly, the registration of the candidacy of the main opposition forces was subject to arbitrary decisions of the CNE, without respecting basic legal principles.
The electoral campaign was impacted by unequal conditions among candidates. The campaign of the incumbent president was well funded and widely visible through rallies, posters, murals, and street campaigning. The abuse of administrative resources on behalf of the incumbent — including use of government vehicles, public officials campaigning while in their official capacity, and use of social programs — was observed throughout the campaign.
The incumbent also enjoyed overwhelming positive coverage on television and radio, in terms of advertising, broadcast events, and news coverage, while the primary opposition candidate received little media coverage. In addition, authorities frequently attempted to restrict the opposition’s campaign activities. This included harassment or intimidation of people who provided services or goods to the main opposition campaign.
Still, Venezuelan citizens turned out peacefully and in large numbers to express their will on election day. Despite reports of restrictions on access to many polling centers for domestic observers and opposition party witnesses; potential pressure on the voters, such as ruling party checkpoints in the vicinity of voting centers; and incidents of tension or violence reported in some localities; voting appeared to take place in a generally civil manner.
In the limited number of polling centers they visited, Carter Center observer teams noted the desire of the Venezuelan people to participate in a democratic election process, as demonstrated through their active participation as polling staff, party witnesses, and citizen observers. However, their efforts were undermined by the CNE’s complete lack of transparency in announcing the results."

The Center later said that tally sheets from individual voting machines that the opposition provided that showed Gonzalez winning by a landslide were "legitimate". https://apnews.com/article/venezuela-election-tally-sheets-actas-oas-carter-center-41d1000926d0ab99e522e53bf6c2b916
So available evidence contradicts your claim of overwhelming public support for Maduro, though that does not justify Trump's war against that country.
@no1marauder saidCarter changes his mind about everything. He was against mail in voting right before he was for it. Carter was not a consistent person.

Gauido told his supporters to not vote. He insured he would lose the vote so Carter's statement is irrelevant.
Is that evidence of election fraud? No. Any moron can see that. And Machado winning the nobel peace prize just reinforces that. She is right up there with Dr. Evil Kissinger. She must be proud.
@Earl-of-Trumps saidHe told his supporters did not vote. Big surprise he didn't win. He didn't even try to win. Boycotting elections does not prove they are rigged. This sort of propaganda is weak and pathetic, but you fell for it.

@Metal-Brain saidNo, Carter was quite consistent. He said some reforms needed to be made to mail in voting, those reforms were largely done and thus he endorsed it. Besides, YOU were the one who mentioned him.

Who is Gauido? And when did he supposedly tell his supporters not to vote? Not that it matters: Maduro's opponent in 2024 after Machado was ruled ineligible was Edmundo Gonzalez who waged an aggressive and open campaign. https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/latin-america/time-for-democratic-transition-in-venezuela-says-opposition-candidate-edmundo-gonzalez-urrutia.phtml
You don't seem to be even aware of the facts surrounding the 2024 Presidential election in Venezuela. The links in your OP predate it by at least 6 months.

That is BS. No reforms were done. Mail in voting still makes vote buying too easy. Carter just flip flopped and you don't want to admit it. And you cannot tell your supporters to not vote and complain you lost the election. So no election rigging was proven. And Machado was guilty of attempted insurrection. You wanted Trump banned from running because you thought he did the same.

Guaido is a puppet of the empire. He attempted a coup with USA backing. You are being swayed by propaganda.
Machado supported Western sanctions against Venezuela which hurt the poor disproportionately. She is a sick person. And the Bank of England stole their gold. You are supporting thieves.
@Metal-Brain saidWhy do all socialist or communist governments complain that they do not get support, and that the poverty they create is the fault of some external entity?

That by itself is a clear sign that you are a loser and that your government and economy has failed.
@Metal-Brain saidThat article is from 2020. WTF does that have to do with the 2024 election? Your entire post is non-responsive - even assuming for the sake of argument that the barring of Machado was justified, there was another candidate named, an election was held in July 2024 and the evidence cited by the Carter Center, among many others, indicates that Maduro actually lost it, but the country's government faked the results, verbally asserting Maduro's victory but never showing the tally sheets as required by Venezuelan law.

You are just talking crap with no source to back up your claims.
I provided my source. You obviously are incapable of proving it wrong. I think you have a timeline confusion.
@Metal-Brain saidYou're nuts. I provided my sources in a post that you replied to on this same page.

You keep providing sources that are well before the 2024 Venezuelan election and do not address the issues regarding that election.

@no1marauder saidYour article proved nothing and you know it. Carter said is not a valid argument. You have provided no evidence of election rigging. No evidence of improper banning candidates from the election. You are arguing an insurrectionist won the election he called a boycott on.

You siding with an insurrectionist is laughable after you wanted Trump banned for calling for peaceful protests. Guaido told his supporters not to vote. If I told my supporters not to vote in an election you win is that evidence the election is rigged and you are a dictator?

Maduro enjoys over 60% support in the polls there.
Are the polls rigged too? LOL
@Rajk999 saidThere are no communist governments you idiot. They do not exist!

There are no communist governments you idiot. They do not exist!
- North Korea
- Cuba
- Venezuela
.. and a couple others. They are beggars and losers. All a bunch of stupid politicians stealing the country's resources while the rest of the people live in abject poverty.
