Idk, pretty much the only two things I know about her are:

  1. She opposes Maduro, and Maduro certainly doesn't want any form of democracy: he used his power arrest opposition and election officials right before the results were called last time. Official charges were terrorism.

  2. She won the prize that Trump wanted.

So she sounds good to me.

Hell the only thing I know about her is that she's flattering a fascist dictator and and seems to be hinting around asking said fascist dictator to invade her country. Sounds pretty fucking abysmal to me.

I'm a consequentialist, hard to say if Mad's regime would survive overnight if it meant war with the USA, but certainly can't be any worse than leaving him in charge.

Ah yes I remember when Hitler came into power by removing Joseph Stalin. /sarcasm

It's not a strange stance to hardline on that leaders should be democratically elected and never serve more than 2 terms.
