Things are getting worse in #Venezuela.
I was a fan of #Chavez, for all his faults, but #Maduro has clearly failed the capitalize on the success of his predecessor, running of the country into the ground, and refuses to let #democracy vote him out. They don't have to embrace #capitalism, that's a pretty unreasonable demand, and it clearly was not working for them, but it's really sad how a country I remember going through a democratic change in policy on a massive level when I was younger, this poster child for grassroots change, has become effectively a #dictatorship by someone who just can't admit that he was never up for the task.
