BBC: Venezuela opposition 'has met military', says Juan Guaidó

Sounds like spin cycle to me. You are talking about class is a nominally classless society.
Dude, we all know that you were right there with Danny GLover, Sean Penn, Olvier stone, Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, and Jesse Jackson.
Where they are politically is, where we know we will find you. Another socialist/communist experiment is failing, so you are whipping out the lipstick and trying to draw a happy face.
LMAO!
