We might actually have agreement here. Iām struggling to understand what we hope to accomplish with a continuation of the embargo. Cuba will never shed their communist government anymore than China will shed theirs. There are a multitude of other former communist countries who still retain their totalitarian leaders and remain human rights abusers. Why do we uniquely single Cuba out for embargo amongst former communist bloc countries?
I would be all in for retention of the embargo if it was actually having a desired affect (change in behavior). After 60 years we must realize that will never happen.
I believe its time to end the embargo. I believe this will result in much needed investment, allowing Cubaās economy to mimic that of Vietnam.
Itās easy to see the future of the party, at minimum they have between 25-30% support and that is a lot, itās not hard to see how a Sanders could have won in 2020 if the other candidates all didnāt drops out at the same time before Super Tuesday. Itās how Trump won the primaries he didnāt need a high percentage just everyone else staying in dividing the votes.
Joe had a dozen easy opponents, and the first one to fall was Kamala; Bernie was one of the last. But ultimately, Joe won the nomination because he looked good compared to the competition. What a sad state of affairs for the Democratic Party.
