The majority of Miami Cuban exiles have a political mission of wanting to violently overthrow the government and have tried to involve US presidents in this aim since the immediate days after the Cuban Revolution. This sentiment has festered over generations -- Miami Cubans have been a reliable GOP voting bloc on the manipulation of their…

Not tying an individual's healthcare to their employer would be a big improvement too. Right now employees in the US must be sort of hostages to their job which opens them up to all sorts of abuse. You should consider maternity and paternity leave too, I hear thats a rare thing there. I'm Canadian. Whatever criticisms there are about our…

What I find interesting is that in the past I have met people and we have had great conversations about what is wrong with government, in agreement, then later i find out they support the Republican candidate. It is always such a jaw dropping moment. I think overall most citizens want the same things, but a lot of "good" things have been demonized…

The root cause is simple: the military-industrial complex relies on perpetual conflict. Defense contractors fund political campaigns across both major parties, expecting a return on their investment regardless of who wins the White House. For these corporations, profit is bipartisan. This creates a systemic loop where American presidents are…

This was something in 2016 that folks I knew highlighted as the singular reason people should vote for Trump. Doesn't matter that he's a bigot, that he's vindictive, egotistical, and rude, or that he's as corrupt as any politician in American history, or anything else. No, it is nevertheless imperative that we vote for him because Hillary is going…

China doesn't project militarily outside of their own backyard. They'll send material help in peace times. But they won't do jack if Cuba gets actively invaded. Honestly don't think any nation would do jack other than a strongly worded letter and speeding up decoupling from US IT and financial services if the US invades any country in the entire…

Cuban-American checking in here. Most of us want this, and the only ones who don’t are ideological performers who hate Trump so much that they would rather leave the island suffering than give the Republicans a win. Ask a Venezuelan how they felt about the intervention and you’ll see people from both sides of the political aisle in glee. The…

He’s at the point where he’s now reaching back 75 years into American history to try and find grievances to fuel his bases engagement; all so they won’t focus on what’s going on around them (the general increased shittiness of everything that Trump touches). Who in this admin brought up Cuba I wonder. Stephen Miller sensed some brown people…

The U.S. has had an obsession with getting rid of Cuba ever since its government became communist in the 50s (The CIA has tried at least 900 times. That's not an exaggeration. That's the actual number). We've been blockading them basically since the 60s, and recently we've blockaded them so hard that none of Cuba has electricity anymore and…

It’s really not looney. War makes money. We’re a deeply capitalistic country, with deep ties between our government and industry. War profiteering drives corruption. Campaigns are financed to the tune of billions of dollars from defense and media companies, and who benefits when we go back to war? Eisenhower warned us about the military industrial…

Marco Rubio (and a large portion of Cuban exiles in the US descended from people who fled Castro) has a grudge against the government, and Republicans have been leveraging that for years. A segment of Cubans who live primarily in Florida is a consistent hardcore Republican block, and this is appeasing them while padding the pockets of the rich…

Because obviously we are talking about the real world "communism" you can say it doesnt actually exist but there are countries that share ideologies that call themselves that thing. You can say they are misusing that term but anyone should realize that when we talk about communism we rae talking about the real think in the world that actually…

The Army Reserve is quietly checking whether it can send military police, medical brigades, and combat units to Cuba within 90 to 120 days, which is late-December math. Fuckface already told everyone the plan: "Whether I free it or take it, I think I could do anything I want with it." Leaked Army plans show another...
