Sure, it's impossible to keep a democracy going with those sanctions. The US is allowing nobody to trade with them. Eventually they'll surrender or collapse.

Nobody?

They export to China, Turkiye, Spain, and even the US. That hardly sounds like they've been blockaded.

And the Biden administration tried to roll back the sanctions we do have. But Maduro went back on the deal, specifically related to making sure the elections were free and fair.

At some point Maduro is the one fucking around. And obviously it's possible to tell the US to leave you alone, plenty of countries have poor relations with the US and are doing fine.
