    Maduro didn’t need her to do anything - he has Venezuela locked up

    He needs help ending the US siege on Venezuela!

    The government AOC works for has prevented necessities from entering the country, sanctioned companies which work with Venezuela, and pressured international bank to freeze assets owned by the Venezuelan government.

    She said that one time, that I know of, regarding Venezuela 8 weeks into her first term.

    And what has she said on Venezuela since?

    Last time I heard her comment on Venezuela, it was to clarify her idea of "socialism" was more like Finland & Sweden, and completely different from Venezuela.

    It is politically convenient for her to enable imperialism against Venezuela because the Democratic Party is invested in that imperialist endeavor. If she attempted to correct the record on the situation in Venezuela, she would face tremendous backlash from her superiors and the Liberal media. Backlash she did not face for supporting Bolivia.

      And she appears to still support the coup against Venezuela.

      I was a leader in advocating for Venezuelan freedom

      Jesus Christ. It's good that she materially opposed the coup in Bolivia, but if she could do literally anything about Venezuela, that would be great. Or, for that matter, Nicaragua, Iran, Syria, or the DPRK. Like, literally anything.

      It seems like her support is contingent on whether or not the general public has been convinced that a country is "authoritarian".
