Say what you will about Maduro, but at least he was elected.

@Antifar "At least Maduro was elected?" Yes, he was elected in a sham election, wherein the state-run media showered him with favorable coverage and gave the opposition a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the coverage Bernie Sanders got. He has ruled by decree for the last four years, granting himself the unquestioned power to dictate what goes in the country, answerable to none. He's stacked the supreme court with loyalists, imprisoned activists and political opponents, deployed the military against the populace, forced people to work in the fields against their will to grow enough food to feed the starving people, and suspended every effort to have another election. All in the name of preserving "the glorious Bolivarian Revolution of the people" and standing against "the great evil in the world, the United States."

Venezuela is where you ought to direct your ire, not Brazil, whose government is still entirely democratic. Maduro is a villain and he deserves the scorn of the world.
