I guess Marianne's Department of Peace would have been another imperialistic outlet for ignorance & hostility. When I run on sponsoring one, I'll credit Kucinich... https://twitter.com/marwilliamson/status/1274955087790649344 …

Wow, Jesse. Very unfair. I’ve said over and over again that our sanctions there were terrible. I’m not naïve about American foreign-policy in Latin America. But we should not romanticize Maduro. He’s not Allende. Trump isn’t standing up for democracy here.

I'm not romanticizing. I'm advocating for diplomacy in a cruel world. When Obama dealt white phosphorous to the Saudis, did you call him a dictator? Did you demand foreign leaders repudiate him? You want George W. Bush making statements on TV but Trump can't meet with Maduro?

I certainly have never supported the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Jesse. Of course they’re dictators. Look at my post again. I said he “has a thing for dictators,” which clearly he does. You’re turning it into a commentary about US foreign policy that I didn’t even make.

Our policies toward Venezuela have been awful. Trump possibly recognizing Maduro as legitimate might end a lot of suffering. Glib remarks about how he likes dictators is profoundly unhelpful, especially since I doubt you made similar remarks about Obama + the Saudis.
