Where are the dishwashers?
How many of these for your vote?
One thing I think nobody has noted in this election cycle: where are the dishwashers? The clothes washers? The dryers? The apartments? Heck, I haven’t even heard of Maduro handing out iPods.
As you know, last year’s election was marked by giveaways of the kind we had seldom seen before. Haier appliances were everywhere – some reports say that close to 2 million appliances were handed out. And the government gave out a lot of apartments.
This time? Radio silence. I’m sure they’ve handed out some, but nowhere near the number they handed out last time.
