CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — When Venezuelans rang in the new year, few in the crisis-wracked nation had even heard of Juan Guaido.Two weeks later, the young backbench lawmaker has emerged as a key power broker as he leads the opposition-controlled congress in a high-stakes standoff with socialist President Nicolas Maduro, who is increasingly seen as a dictator both at home and abroad.
“Guaido for president!” people shouted Friday at the largest street rally in over a year to take on Maduro, eagerly waiting for the fresh-faced 35-year-old to speak. “Out with Maduro!”

Ok, anyone know anything about this new guy? The AP doesn't really go into his political vision, rather are giving a backstory, because anyone would be better than Hugo's hand molded successor Maduro....It is heartbreaking to see what Socialism has done to this country.

At this point, his political vision appears to be opposition to Maduro and the desire to correct the extremely bad conditions that Chavez and Maduro have inflicted upon his country.

He has the support of the US and Brazil.

It's going to be bloody at this point for Venezuela to regain any freedom....Ain't it great to see what has become of what so many liberals supported?

If you think liberals want an economic setup the same as Venezuela, you can't be helped. You're too far gone, a victim of right-wing propaganda. Over and over you've been told liberals want a Venezuelan system, so that's what you bring up constantly. Even when the thread topic isn't Venezuela, you bring up Venezuelan liberal socialism.

Ask a hundred liberals this question:
"Which country's system would you like to emulate more closely?"

Then get back to us and tell us how many said Venezuela.

We know that liberals lie so what would be the point?

No, I have just been dying to use that line from a commercial. And since you are a truck driver I thought what a better opportunity.

I really have no interest in Venezuela. No offense meant. Just had to use the opportunity. Carry on.

That's cute, you get to invent whatever belief you want and assign it to liberals as a whole, and convince yourself you're right because any and all evidence to the contrary is just a "lie."

Do I get to do that for you? Decide your belief and just call you a liar if you object? Because you support forcing dogs to wear dresses.

Would it be too much to ask you not to commit slander?
