    That’s what showed us how powerful the Cuban-American caucus has become

    Obama tried to normalize relations, Florida has been red ever since

    Cuban-Americans want Cuba to collapse. It’s pretty evil

      So we should kill just under 4 million civilians then leave the country to warlords like we did in Iraq? Cuba is far from perfect but it doesn’t go around starting wars and is a tiny country. What’s with the obsession with it?

      Edit; somehow when I originally read that commit I thought it was advocating for attacking Cuba don’t know how lol

        When Castro took over and seized the means of production, many wealthy property owners (of farms, refineries, etc., many closely affiliated with the US) fled to Florida. That was 1959-1963 or so. They remained bitter about it, and passed it on to their children. So, former Cubans in the US still hate the Cuban government. They want to see it fall. Not that they’d benefit from it.
