Since you’ve linked to my post, maybe you lemmitors can help answer one of the questions posed in it:
Can I get a quick rundown on what Maduro has done to be labelled as a “brutal dictator” by the liberal media?
How does that line go…oh yes. “It’s not our job to educate you.”
oh shit lmao burned

I mean…
Maduro was widely considered head of an authoritarian government characterized by electoral fraud, human rights abuses, corruption, and severe economic hardship. Between 2013 and 2023, Venezuela dropped 42 places in the Press Freedom Index.[24] According to estimates by the United Nations (UN) and Human Rights Watch, under Maduro’s administration thousands of people have died in extrajudicial killings and seven million Venezuelans were forced to flee the country.[25][26][27]

You’re welcome to dismiss whatever news articles and sources you find on whatever grounds you want, but if you want to know the reasoning, no one is working to hide it from you.

What liberal media? It’s all owned by maga, but then with a name like that I just bet you’re totally commenting here in good faith of course. Fuck it, I’ll bite a little. How’s about refusing the peaceful transfer of power for starters?

I’m starting to think Maduro was right about that. Turns out the Yanks really were trying to take over Venezuela!
Oh so he is a dictator but it’s ok now. Don’t get too tired carrying around those goalposts.
Trump kidnapped a head of state. If he gets away with it, he’ll keep doing it with other heads of state.
Centrists are ok with setting that precedent as long as it upsets the “tankies” they hate.
Huh? Do you have me confused with someone else?

Jesus fucking christ, one of them made a comic of Bernie with swastikas and shit saying HH. Bernie Sanders who is ethnically Jewish and has direct relatives murdered by the Nazis. What the actual fuck. These tankie fucks are truly some of the vilest shitbags out there. They can all get fucked.

Being against summarily murdering everybody who belong to a group you don’t like totally makes you a fascist, of course. Whereas calling for indiscriminate murder is really really progressive.
But you don’t understand. It’s calling for a murder of someone they don’t like… That’s totally ok in their eyes.
And people like that have the nerve to call everyone a fascist. They’re using the word “fascism” so much that they need to create dumb nicknames and abbreviations for it.
Where is the tankie part
Also Bernie is a bit old at this point

Sanders is a controlled opposition steam valve in a fascist empire, he is a fascist. Otherwise he wouldn’t be on cable news.
Is he a lizard person too?

Oh, yes. The person who has been on the side of the working class who has fought for civil and worker’s rights for 60 years is totally a fascist plant. Were you dropped on your head as a child? It’s okay, you can be honest.
Why’s he go on cable news then?
He appears on TV because that’s been the main way to reach Americans enmasse for decades. Not everyone is on the internet 24/7 or watches independent media. Yes, the people who own and run these stations are not good people, but that does not change who Bernie is.
Now for the real question: Why do you assume everyone who appears on cable news is automatically a fascist? What is it about an interview over the news that makes Bernie’s entire past (again, 60 years, dude. Cable TV didn’t exist back then) as someone who fights for the working class suddenly irrelevant? Are you going to claim that a 9 year old who wins a spelling bee is a fascist because they appeared on their local news channel to celebrate? Is a local soup kitchen run by fascists because the news did a story on them?
Do you even have a clue how unreasonable your position is here?
Cry about your jobber with your strawman argument if you want. He always loses, he never goes far enough, and he’s ineffective at organizing. Cable news is right wing propaganda aimed at boomers.
Jobber move, for example. This is what you do if you are a fascist tool.
