    You know what’s great for getting Cuban votes in Miami? Supporting sanctions and starving out Cuba.

    The gusano voting bloc is mutually exclusive with people who don’t like starving foreign countries.

    There may be hope for Cubans who fled in the 90s due to famine, but the social relations and economic and cultural history of the ones who fled either fearing the wrath of the people they’d exploited or seeking to restore the privilege they had pre-revolution are always going to vote for the fascists.
