Bolivia's right-wing opposition, the US government, and OAS are trying to carry out a coup after socialist Indigenous President Evo Morales just won re-election.

The corporate media is ignoring the absolutely MASSIVE rally that just took place today in the capital to support Evo
The US govt, corporate media, and Bolivia's right-wing opposition are falsely smearing leftist President Evo Morales as a "dictator," after he won re-election (and invited an international audit)

Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of Bolivians are filling the streets to support him
It's important to stress that the main support base for Bolivia's elected socialist President Evo Morales (the country's first Indigenous leader) are Native workers from rural areas

The right-wing is disproportionately led by wealthy urban light-skinned elite of European descent
These videos/photos of the HUGE demonstration today in Bolivia in support of leftist Evo Morales come from this national TV livestream:

But of course you won't see this in mainstream corporate media—which acts as a mouthpiece for the right-wing opposition
This video provides another view of the absolutely *enormous* rally in Bolivia yesterday in support of the reelection of leftist President Evo Morales

Of course the mainstream corporate media is still ignoring it. They're focused on helping the right-wing
Reporter on the ground in Bolivia: "Each time the mobilizations in La Paz to support (leftist president) Evo Morales and defend his victory are even bigger. You see indigenous people, miners, neighbors, common people."
