Not that I'm particularly convinced Maduro's was either. Chavez, I did believe that about, at least in the beginning.
I feel like our main focus (as decent human beings like we are) should quickly shift to demanding self-determination vs. staying focused on this day's action, arguing about it's "illegality" and such. Complaints that will get us nowhere, just as they haven't in the past. The moral, upstanding position to take at this point is "let THEM choose". It would optimally become a minor "movement" among Democrats, as it's both righteous and morally unassailable.
