But sure, keep telling us how Democratic administrations not acting like right-wing criminal shitstain Republicans is "hypocritical", but deliberately disregarding the vast difference in foreign policy between the two parties so you can screech "America bad!" even when it does the right thing somehow isn't.
Well, not in Latin America. US political parties have some weird multi-faced value system that cares about stuff like the coordinates a victim was born.
But the OP is also bullshit for trying to criticize the country for trying to do something right for once. Even more because staging coups against a dictatorship does not have a clear moral value.
This is the right answer. And this time around Venezuelans are mad at Merudo and not America because it’s Merudo that interfered with their democratic process, not America. Hard line republican policies always fail
The US isn't a person though. It is a system that relies on imperialist domination in order to survive. Do you have evidence that the system has fundamentally changed away from that? Because that would be some pretty miraculous evidence.
As an empire, yes. That doesn't mean we want American people to suffer (I say this as a European who also thinks European imperialist countries should suffer the same fate)

This one below is also missing Obama-era orchestrated election meddling in Honduras, and Haiti.

You forgot Obama with Egypt, Libya, Ukraine, and the extra-judicial assassination of American Citizens.

I was referring to Biden financing far right militias that attempted a coup in Venezuela as soon as Maduro won the election

Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing. -Brandon Sanderson
Just because someone did something horrible in the past it does not mean we cannot advocate for something good now.
People can change, bit by bit, moment by moment. Sometimes it might even be for the better.

The US isn’t going to change. This is how they are. They meddle with the world and have been doing so throughout their history.

USA hypocrisy is theatrics to get to make rules and order everyone around with a sanctimonious attitude.

At least it won't be that fascist-filled shithole. There's a hole in the world like a great black pit, and it goes by the name of 'Murica.

I agree with you, but it's also true that imperialism is way deeper rooted in the American forma mentis than it is in most European.
