- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Wild man. Dude was down 60 points!
What a comeback! /s
Fucker totally said to the election officials: "I win or I shoot you myself."
They are still going to be killed, but that's a week tops down the road.
Calling the comments on the election made by leaders in these neighboring countries “interventionist acts,” Maduro’s Foreign Minister Yván Gil ordered the diplomatic personnel from Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Perú, Panamá, the Dominican Republican and Uruguay to leave Venezuela immediately.
And this just came in : "opposition candidate Edmundo González on Monday announced that his campaign has the proof it needs to show he won the country’s disputed election "
I don't trust their word and potentially inflated stats too much until the evidence is fully validated,
but
Maduro and the CNE's ad-hoc caginess about the reports and local stats are much more revealing, given that they are the custodians of the election and should have an interest in transparency if Maduro had won.
e.g. look at this bullshit
This is a massive self-own, no CIA interference needed.
The most obvious answer is that all of those candidates were labeled as "other" for the purpose of reporting and collectively got 4.6%, and the chart maker didn't want to redesign it to accommodate for not knowing individual results.
That would be fine if there were a detailed report of the results online or declared somewhere so people could check the results in each municipality. Instead, the https://www.cne.gob.ve/ is still down, I have no idea where to see where Maduro won and lost and by how much...all we have is that...which is clearly fucked.
It still doesn't legitimize this as evidence. Focus instead on the disparity between polling and vote count. Looks like this was already widely debunked.
polling can fail spectacularly. This is not about "evidence", it is blatant obstruction by the official institutions that oversee the election, which is at least as bad. That is the only thing everyone is sure of at the moment.
