Several Venezuelan high officials, and relatives of such, are accused by the US of involvement in drug trafficking.

The people now running Venezuela seem to be corrupt and interested mainly in power and money. Naturally, many Venezuelans want to kick them out.

What is sad is that the likely replacements are corrupt in a different way: they want to sell their country to multinational corporations and would let the US government impose power over it. (Possibly some may also be corrupt in the same way as the current rulers.)

The new leader that Venezuela needs is an honest libertarian socialist, one that wants to fix the irrational policies such as price controls, and encourage local farms and factories with profits, while keeping the multinationals out.

Russia could interfere directly in the US election by cracking voting machine security. We must change voting machines to stop this.

Not only Russia can do this. There is evidence that the Democratic primary in one state was rigged by manipulating voting machines.

Billionaire Polluters has renewed long-term sponsorship of several prominent museums. Activists criticize the museums, because this legitimizes BP's business and helps it win things such as subsidies.

We need to tax these companies to support museums and lots of other important things that need funds.

The Democratic platform's statements on foreign policy have lots of war talk and false accusations.
