@Daojoan The binary & realistic choice in a Two-party system to #vote in this #Election in the #USA...

Where as:
The #Bolivarian Revolution that led #HugoChavez in #Venezuela victory,

The election of #SalvadorAllende in #Chile

The election/re-installation of #EvoMorales & #MAS Party back in #Bolivia after the failed #Coup

The #FrenteAmplio (Popular Front) in #Uruguay

The #Sandinistas in #Nicaragua, etc.

They were unbinary & unrealistic, yet have accomplish grand goals that this system!

Steve Bannon prefers to talk about the “deconstruction of the administrative state,” but that amounts to the same thing.

These ideas are not original to Vance or Bannon: In the 21st century, elected leaders such as #HugoChávez or #ViktorOrbán have also used their democratic mandates for the same purpose. Chávez fired 19k employees of the state oil company; Orbán dismantled #LaborProtections for the #CivilService.

Mugica’s PR team knows this, which is surely how I found myself talking to him last month not just about #election sanctity, but about cringier subjects he’d rather avoid: That #bribery case; those alleged ties to his country’s autocratic late president #HugoChavez; & Mugica’s personal views on sexual #monogamy & what they have to do w/his #DatingApp #investments, among other things.
