If the Democratic Party is so left wing, then why isnt a single of the top candidates against Washingtons recognition of Juan Guaido as the countrys president? Oh wait, there is one who does not recognize Guiado. Its Bernie Sanders.
Sanders is not an Independent for nothing.
Last week, Guaido, who was once the official head of the National Assembly of Venezuela until Socialists United politics orchestrated a vote to get him out, was singled out by President Trump at his State of the Union address. Guaido was the only foreigner highlighted by the president. It wasnt that Trump and Guaido are best friends. It was Trump using Guaido as an example that there will never be socialism in the United States.
Guaido is the anti-Bernie.
Last week, the American Society/Council of the Americas (ASCOA) listed the Venezuela position of all the Democratic Party presidential hopefuls. Sanders stood out.
In a televised interview with Mexican-American journalist Jorge Ramos on Univision broadcast on February 22, 2019, Sanders said he did not consider Guaido to be the legitimate president of Venezuela.
Guaido was named interim president by Washington last year when Nicolas Maduro was elected in a vote that the Organization of the American States and a Catholic Bishops council in Venezuela said was illegitimate. Other countries quickly followed in no longer recognizing Maduro as Venezuelas president, including Colombia and Brazil.
The rest of the top tier candidates, including Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg and billionaire Michael Bloomberg all have said they recognize Guiado and not Socialists United leader Maduro.
Sanders also does not support economic sanctions on Venezuela. For example, the beleaguered national oil firm PdVSA is banned from repatriating money from the U.S. back to Venezuela. And crude oil from Venezuela is also no longer allowed in the U.S.

Sanders is a communist who will always support other socialists and communists, regardless of their death toll.
I hear Maduro is de-nationalizing oil...if only for his govt survive.
And crude oil from Venezuela is also no longer allowed in the U.S.

POTUS rubbed Bernies nose in it.

I do not recognize Guaidó as the legitimate President of Venezuela, but Pelosi and Pompeo do.
Hasn’t our government spent 128 million of US taxpayer money to promote their little puppet?
Also, I do not support sanctions which hurt the non elites in the Countries we target with them.
At the risk of confirming that this is all about you, who do you recognize as the legitimate President of Venezuela?
*** Thats good, isnt it?
Dont import any of those evil fossil fuels. ***
What non opec Country imports the third largest number of crude oil and products to the United States?
Canada, and Mexico we one and two. Who is three?
I'm sure that doesn't come as a surprise to anyone around here.
*** At the risk of confirming that this is all about you, ***
I don’t respond to snark. Find someone else with whom to play.
