Rubio and Cardin: bi-partisan vanguard of boycott, divestment, and sanctions for fascists

"There's an erosion of support for Maduro from the military and it seems like Guaidó's trying to consolidate that," Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin, one of the senior Democrats on the Foreign Relations Committee, told the Washington Examiner. "Our strategy was to ... get as much international support against the legitimacy of that regime and to allow the Venezuelans to make their own decisions on their government."

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

Chavez is not a dictator. Maduro is not a dictator.
The end.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

My guess is that every side is trying to avoid repeating the caracazo. Partly because the lesson from that was that mayhem and massacres never stabilize a situation, partly because they don't want to be seen as the regime that killed it's own people.

So, at least at the top they treat each other with some decency and moderation. And mostly on the ground level, too. Of course in the crowds there are always testoterone-filled idiots too young to remember bodies on the streets 30 years ago. Or people paid to cause trouble.

Seems like the obvious answer. Little Marco hasn't thought of that yet:

It's too bad that no one has a bunch of undeniable proof in their possession showing how several key leaders around #Maduro have spent weeks negotiating a way to remove him while helping themselves...
