    In nearly every sense, I have more freedoms in the US than I did in Venezuela. My husband left Cuba and feels the exact same way. I can vote in a fair election, express myself freely, start a business, earn a living wage, protest peacefully, etc. All things people take for granted in the US. Here we have a balance of power between democrats and republicans, as well as checks and balances in government. That doesn’t exist in Venezuela or Cuba. I feel I have to remind my fellow democrats that dictatorships are objectively bad, whether left leaning or right leaning. I believe political freedom and freedom of expression are such basic human rights that I have no sympathy for people who have “solidarity” with authoritarian governments.

    My country Venezuela yearns for freedom

      Fucking idiot, whats worse is how a lot of these people go for Trump because "left bad"

      No mercy for these morons they have no idea what theyre talking about.

      Please. Venezuela was always a fucking mess. Someone i know told me that it was immigrants in venezuela was why poverty and literacy numbers were so bad in venezuela.

      Come the fuck on, even if that is true, why is there so much illiteracy and poverty in south america

        I can vote in a fair election
        

        "Vote for the conservative, pro war, pro genocide, xenophobic candidate or the slightly less conservative, pro war, pro genocide, xenophobic candidate"

        express myself freely
        

        This idiot think people outside the western hegemony just stare at the wall all day until bedtime?

        start a business
        

        lmao, only 90+ percent of those fail. This clown is MUCH closer to your cousin that started a random construction business and had it go under than they are to Steve Jobs.

        earn a living wage
        

        ...in the US? L M A O

        protest peacefully
        

        Police are the ones who decide whether the protest will be peaceful or not, so good luck with that

        She can do all of these things because she wants to vote for someone harmless, because she wants to express mainstream ideas aligned with regime ideology, because who cares if she starts a business, because she has the network and background to be a labour aristocrat and because the only things she wants to protest are things that doesn't bother the regime.

        She is free but if she wanted to use her freedom differently she wouldn't be.

          those who do not move do not notice their chains

          gusanos who get pissed at the "oppression" of Cuba are generally just mad they can't exploit others and scrape their way to the top of a pyramid of profit extraction. To them, being unable to make their own towing company is worse than being arrested for doing journalism
