Marc, you have been banging this message (with good reason) for decades now. Universal human rights should apply everywhere; don't make excuses for the leader, government, or society that you wish was better. Advocate for people in peril everywhere and at all times.

Thanks for your persistence in this area.

I agree as well, but I am often reminded from here in New Mexico that Maduro's policies result in increased numbers of asylum seekers from Venezuela coming to the US. This is a tragedy for them and a political liability for Democrats. This is a dilemma for US foreign policy, since any softening sanctions would presumably help Maduro's wretched government.
