>>Nicaraguan support for the Sandinistas was widespread and strong. If it wasn't they would not have attained power.

There is no evidence for that. The Sandinistas had the arms and threatened more violence. They were never chosen.

Nicaraguans surely wanted Somoza out, but that just as surely doesn't mean they knowingly chose Sandinista totalitarianism.

When your side was forced to hold elections, they lost. That was and remains the only valid expression of the people in that protracted struggle.
