If the results are legitimate, how come independent polls were giving 30 percentage points less to Maduro than he obtained? Why were international entities not allowed to observe? And what about the multiple instances of harassment of opposition candidates?
I'm not a fan of US imperialism, but that doesn't mean you need to support any thug whose rethoric opposes the US, going so far as to deny evident reality.
Maybe you should look up who funded the "independent polls".
You're very correct in applying skepticism! Now why don't you do the same to the ruling party's claims?
Maybe Maduro isn't as popular as you think, and you don't need to invoke a conspiracy to explain his ouster.
