Rodriguez gives no date for vote despite pledging elections at UN

This is completely in line with the previous PSUV position. It's not even a concession. They have always maintained that they have free and fair elections. She is the rightful legal successor to Maduro, and she is promising to uphold the existing democratic norms of her country. That she isn't taking an outwardly hostile tone towards the nation which enjoys total military superiority over them during a diplomatic mission at the UN may come across as a betrayal to certain ultra-leftists in the US, but it would seem that the Chavistas in Venezuela do not share the same view.

And how has this community done previously on the whole geopolitical spectrum? There hasn't been a decay. It was always a vibes based crap shoot, our percentages were just slightly better than the liberals are because we aren't literally just slurping the English media propaganda.

Pretending this is a decay into standpoint theory is absolutely hilarious, as if this community ever had any kind of consistency in theoretical application and understanding. It's a shit posting forum.

    It was always a vibes based crap shoot, our percentages were just slightly better than the liberals are because we aren't literally just slurping the English media propaganda.

    And even then, we lost big on not betting that Russia would invade Ukraine while the Anglo-media slurping libs did.

    People just need to relax. You're not going to get every prediction right. You're not the head of an intelligence agency with field agents nor an international news media conglomerate with undercover reporters. You should expect to be wrong most of the time frankly. The fact that the new mega overall outperforms Western MSM is a mark against Western MSM, not a mark for the news mega. It's "wow, how can Western media be this fucking stupid" not "wow, the news mega is filled with super geniuses who can see the future with dialectical materialism."

    The certainty people have that she's betrayed the revolution reminds me of the certainty hexbear users had that Russia was not about to invade Ukraine the night before they did.

    Sure, they could gave guessed correctly about Venezuela this time, but there's no analysis or evidence backing it, it's embarrassing to see so much doomerist grandstanding crowding out any actual analysis.

    I'm fine with that it could go either way and waiting to find out, I don't need to pretend like I know something that nobody knows.
