Why don't you address my point that Capriles' supporters are leftists?

There's a reason that the parties Movimiento al Socialismo - Movement for Socialism), PODEMOS (Por la Democracia Social-For Social Democracy), PPT (Patria para Todos - Fatherland for All), Bandera Roja (Red Flag, Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries) support him.

And it's not because he's a neoliberal if you believe the lies of the chavistas.

You manipulate people by slandering your opponent on a continual basis, eventually they come to believe it, it's one reason Chavez has been elected twice, he invented a boogyman all the while fleecing the Venezuelan people dry.
