Nicaraguan elections. Left wins, West cries Sham

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Are they right this time?

Ortega has won with a strengthened majority but there are a string of parties whose candidates were prevented from takimg part and aside the normal Left bloc there is not much international support around for the legitimacy of these elections.

You do sometimes get situations where right leaning parties co-ordinate to pullout so they get their cake and eat it. Call it a sham when you've set it up to be. Did that happen this time?

Do tell me more, those who know more...

There have been a lot of victories for the left in central and south america of late, no shock the 'west' doesn't like it, plays havoc with our current form of imperialism.

Get some fucking Contras in there NOW.

[Dog Botherer]

Are they right this time?

no

i for one am very happy that president john biden is being faithful to the noble american tradition of organizing coups in the few socialist countries remaining on earth instead of focusing on climate change or preventing the mass deaths of his citizens from covid

keep up the good work!
