President Maduro Meets with Democratic Socialists of America

[brooklynite]

This Friday evening, the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, held a meeting with representatives of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the largest left-leaning political organization in the United States.

In this sense, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela strengthens ties of cooperation, brotherhood and solidarity with activists and the people of the United States who fight for democracy and values such as peace and sovereignty of the peoples of the world, to strengthen the fight against the blockade and the coercive and unilateral measures imposed by the government of the United States.

Participating in this meeting were the chairperson of the National Political Committee of the DSA, members of the International Committee, and members of the organization's Political Formation, Foreign Policy and Bilateral Relations sections.

The Democratic Socialists of America is a political organization of progressive and socialist activists, founded in the United States in 1982.

Perhaps they should stick to issues in the US?

1. 'the largest left-leaning political organization in the United States'

strange description that:

As of July 2021, membership grew to more than 94,000 (national) and the number of local chapters was 239.

2. The claim is about the ORGANIZATION's size, not the pool of voters.

3. but I consider our Democratic party to definitely be 'left-leaning' (again especially for the US) nt

4. Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas, and Maduro is one mean dog

When a nation with the wealth and natural resources of Venezuela sends millions of starving refugees to neighboring Colombia and Brazil, sends its gold reserves to Cuba for “safekeeping,” and slowly sells them off to a California firm via Toronto, playing palsy-walsy with the ruling regime is not the sort of thing I would do while trying to pass myself off as “progressive.”
