Evo Morales did nothing wrong other than resigning. He even called for another election, but of course the South American right-wing, as usual, doesn't really care about democracy.

And in light of the fact that it was the police who led this coup, I guess when can add this to the pile of reasons why the police, as an institution, is bad.

They made it obvious they didn't care about the democratic process the moment they started screaming about election fraud and then destroyed tons of ballots to prevent any investigation into their claims.

There has been no coverage of this during the Trump Reality TV show. Tell us what is going on.

Bolivia had a presidential election. The socialist Evo Morales, who's been in power for well over a decade, won in the first round by a very narrow margin. Cue claims of fraud from the opposition, followed by protests, followed by riots, followed by a police mutiny, followed by Morales calling for another election, followed by the military "encouraging" forcing Morales to resign.

And set the stage for The USSR to crush the vile G*rman state two decades later.

I see it as an absolute win.

Geh it feels awkward and frustrating with someone's view on abortion being a dealbreaker on dating them.
