I ran into the amazing @RaniaKhalek, who told me that the United States is trying to destroy the Venezuelan government, and is already crying fraud in the upcoming elections. 🇻🇪
"There is no comparison" between US and Venezuelan elections, @GloriaLaRiva, former presidential candidate for the @pslnational told me.
In Venezuela fraud is "not possible", while in the US, the Dems and Republicans are fighting to keep 3rd parties off the ballot.

@GloriaLaRiva @pslnational The final pro-government rally was massive.
More than one million people poured I to central Caracas to hear President Maduro talk, sing and dance.
And then they partied for hours.

@GloriaLaRiva @pslnational Meanwhile, in the right wing opposition stronghold of Altamira, everything is calm and tranquil.
That might not be the case if things do not go their way on Sunday.

Corporate media disingenuously tell us that "President Maduro's face appears 13 times on the ballot", as if that is proof that it is a tinpot dictatorship.
This is what the ballot actually will look like.
They never show you this, because it gives their game away.
That's why you should follow @MintPressNews for more accurate coverage of Venezuela.
Maduro appears 13 times, because 13 different parties have endorsed him.
As you can see, opposition candidates appear multiple times on the ballot as well, in accordance with how many parties have endorsed them, too.

@GloriaLaRiva @pslnational I have spoken to dozens of foreign election observers since I got here. And Professor @Taimur_Laal is representative of their general outlook.
@GloriaLaRiva @pslnational @Taimur_Laal The United States is openly meddling in this election, supporting opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez.
But they are also using clandestine means to shape the narrative and sow division, as my new @MintPressNews investigation reveals.

"Bots don't vote!"
Maduro says the opposition seems more popular than they are thanks to bot farms pumping out propaganda.

Venezuela is recovering. The illegal US sanctions have been beaten. -That was Nicolas Maduro's message at his last speech before tomorrow's elections.
