The US secretary of state insists Venezuelans' votes in the recent presidential election "must count".

…

His intervention comes as the presidents of Brazil, Mexico and Colombia all called on Venezuela to release the full details of last Sunday’s election.

…

It has also attracted global criticism, with many governments around the world demanding the Venezuelan government release proof of the result.

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

But, the US, European Union and other G7 countries have called on Mr Maduro’s government to release detailed voting data.

      It’s fine. At least they’re making my point for me.

        The internet is filled with Schrodinger’s Asshole. How is anyone supposed to know if you meant it sarcastically originally or are just claiming it was sarcastic now that it hasn’t landed?

          I made a ridiculous argument so people could connect it to the ones being made about Venezuela. Sarcasm and satire can be very effective. Just because Poe says there’s always one nut out there who actually believes in a ridiculous argument doesn’t mean sarcasm shouldn’t be used.

            NGL my first impression was no sarcasm because of the lack of s/. I thought Lemmygrad just had another leak.
