Venezuela’s illegitimate socialist regime attempted to celebrate the results of its rigged legislative elections Sunday as a “people’s victory” despite record-low turnout that the polling firm Meganálisis estimated to be less than 20 percent of eligible voters.
Rubén Chirino Leañez, the CEO of Meganálisis, told Breitbart News in an interview Sunday that the turnout was especially embarrassing for Nicolás Maduro’s regime because the socialists used extortion and threats, including the threat of losing access to food, to get people to the polls.
“The government was going to deploy its entire apparatus, everything: the infrastructure, the pressure, the military,” Chirino explained. “They pressured people with [threats of] losing [government-distributed] packages of food, losing social assistance, losing their jobs. And of course, that entire infrastructure creates pressure.”
Maduro regime officials were not opaque in their threats. Diosdado Cabello, a senior Maduro henchman, suspected drug lord, and television show host, stated plainly during a campaign rally: “those who don’t vote, don’t eat.”
“There’s no food for those who don’t vote. I don’t know. Those who don’t vote, don’t eat; they get put in quarantine with no eating,” Cabello said last week, evoking harrowing testimonies from survivors of Maduro’s rudimentary Chinese coronavirus quarantine who have said they did not receive food while imprisoned in abandoned motels.
Chirino added that, in addition to threats, the Maduro regime used other tactics like going door-to-door and pressuring people to leave and vote and, towards the evening, “they extended the voting time because they said there were too many people on line waiting to vote, which was false.”
Venezuela is entering a third decade of socialism, marked by extreme shortages in food, medicine, fuel, and basic goods. Dictator Nicolás Maduro placed the national food supply under the control of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) of Venezuela....

Notice the use of threats. Right now we're seeing Americans being threatened just for telling the truth about what they witnessed when poll watching or when coming forward to sign affadavits.
We either do, or do not, have the rule of law based on our response to the 2020 election fraud. We HAVE to protest anything short of full exposure. This isn't just 2020 - it's the fate of America.
We've watched 4 years of Democrat "resistance" to a president they didn't want to win. They HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET if they try to force us to accept election fraud and the fall of the rule of law.
We can SHOW THEM what REAL resistance looks like!
There is no point in voting when Maduro does the counting.
Why vote when the outcome has been predetermined? If Biden becomes president, I will not participate in the farce again.
Decided not to vote to show them who’s the boss huh? Kinda like is being foisted on folks in Georgia in the senate races?
Why vote when the outcome has been predetermined? If Biden becomes president, I will not participate in the farce again.

We have to prevent Biden from becoming president. We have to refuse to accept election fraud. NO means NO!
And when the DemoNazis steal the next election?
If Biden was honorable, he would own up to the widespread cheating perpetuated by his own party, and vow to eradicate it, and expose to Chinese funded fraud. He may not live long afterward however...
And we trust this 81% WHY ??
It could very well be half the population voted but the machine count is anything but the truth.
We’re way overdue for a “kinetic” reset back to our founding principles, and the country is overpopulated with dangerous Marxists anyway.
My guess... the authorities track you once you vote.
It’s kind of like the United States: does voting change anything?
If voting changed anything they would have outlawed it years ago.
Famine has been common in communist regimes; Russia in 1932-33 (which the NY Times’ Walter Duranty denied), China during “the great leap forward”, Ethiopia’s “resettlement” in 1984, The Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, North Korea and many others where scarcity is a daily reality.
Venezuela and Cuba are loved by the American left. My tagline comes from experience.
Venezuela CAN happen here.
