Good enough election for Central America



The Biden administration is threatening
to take action against Nicaragua over the election held on Sunday which resulted in Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega securing a fourth term.

President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken both released statements declaring the election a "sham" and threatening new sanctions. "What Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, orchestrated today was a pantomime election that was neither free nor fair, and most certainly not democratic," the White House statement said.

I might add that we are not totally a proportional democracy, but mostly a republic.
