I know I’ve expressed dislike for the guy in the past, but seriously? I thought for even something like this, he would at least have a good take on it.

The polls that gave the election to Gonzalez were from Edison which is a State Dept cutout, I don't know why they haven't released the vote counts yet but I'm sure it will all come about eventually. Ultimately, they don't owe the US anything of course, and it's not like the election was close either.

    I'm talking about pre-election polls, not exit polls. Idk, I've heard Venezuelan pollster are not great, especially firms like Meganalisis but who knows

    Ah, sorry. Still, the fact the US had their guys in there gives a lot more weight to the notion this is just Guaido 2.0 and Maduro won cleanly, and I've yet to see any concrete evidence that there was anything actually fishy with the elections. The exit polls from Hinterlaces line up with the official results so I can't see why we should be casting doubt. The fact that a leftist with a moderately large audience is trying to carry water for the CIA is shameful in this circumstance where the op is so obvious.
