... feels like a step forward but also some people might say its just politics as usual? 
still rooting for machado though, she seems to be doing something real with her work 
I mean, don't get me wrong, democracy and human rights are super important and all that jazz... but can't we just let the Venezuelans figure out their own stuff for once? 
It feels like there's some sort of external influence at play here, and it makes me nervous. What's next, awarding prizes to people who've only met with Trump a few times? 
Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that while Machado's got some good intentions, we need to be careful not to interfere too much in Venezuela's internal affairs... 
... i mean, on one hand u got machado who's all about promoting democracy and human rights in venezuela, & the nobel peace center is like yay for her efforts 
she's so passionate and dedicated to promoting democracy and human rights in that country it's crazy how much she's been through but she still keeps going 
! She's a total rockstar for standing up for what she believes in, even when it's tough 
. The Nobel Peace Prize is totally deserved, btw 
. Trump meeting with her at the White House was a great step towards supporting her work 
. Let's keep cheering her on and promoting peace and democracy everywhere 
!
