I do. Cuba is a dictatorship that is still run by the family, the Castros, that was controlling it when JFK was in office. I realize the most "progressive" of the Democrats would love to turn the USA into a dictatorship, but thankfully they are a very small fringe.

So?

The government improved healthcare standards without access to international trade, and they also have an extensive municipal democracy.

So we are not allowed to point out the good of Cuba?

Point out whatever you want. They have universal health care in the jails too. It doesn't change the fact that it's a brutal dictatorship that's been controlled by two brothers for more than a 1/2 century. The people have no say in what happens to them.


The reality of course, you are simply making fallacious statements in blind support of Bernie Sanders. If he said Cuba stank, you'd be holding your nose.

Nope, I am loyal to no politician. And I never said Cuba wasn’t a dictatorship.

But you can acknowledge the good and municipal democracy they have.

The thing to remember about Sanders is that the younger generation LOVES him they are tired and angry at the Trumps, Hillary, etc. Like some of us out there we don’t see any real difference between two parties. And neither does the younger voters.

Is the country and young people really ready for an old, curmudgeon to be president? Crazy if the answer is yes. I think the Dems just put him up to be the opening act for the real person they want like in the last election. He was just the opening act for Hillary and he knew it.

Bernie Sanders ran an anti Hillary and Wall street campaign in 2016. If Joe Biden enters the race, I wonder if Bernie Sanders will run an anti Joe Biden campaign instead of focusing his attention toward Donald Trump? Bernie Sanders is a "foe" of the Democratic Party, not a "friend."


Bernie Sanders’ Ugly Campaigning Is Bad for Democrats — and Great for Trump

Maybe maybe not it’s too early to really tell how this is going to go.

LOL Oh, please. That's cause for excitement?

As RINO Frank Luntz remarked, Bernie Sanders is so old, it takes him an hour and a half to watch 60 Minutes.

If that old socialist parasite is who's "firing up" Democrats, the party's in trouble.
