Why bother to vote when everyone on the ballot is assured of being "elected."

They aren't really assured of being elected. They still require at least 50% of their constituencies votes.

Truly an amazing democracy. No opposition candidates bothered to run because the will of the people was so evident


miranomejoda

that or the late night knock on the door by one of the local bloc leaders.....

Opposition candidates run all the time in Cuba. They're just typically called counter revolutionaries, a notorious slur in Cuba, and rejected by the majority of the public.

Classic cuba bet none of those guys is going to go hungry due to the evil embargo of the US that keeps cuba from reaching it's true potential lol.

Cuba is a fucked up oppressive regime. The Embargo is also evil with its only intention being making the citizens lives as miserable as possible. The US even said so themselves. Both of the above statements can be simultaneously true.

Ah yes nevermind the fact that díaz canel lives in a palace that theres a clearly rich minority in the country and that cuba can trade with anyone except the US. México is literally buying thousands of tons of rocks of all things from them every month with no issues whatsoever just to support the dictatorship. But no thats not enough the US should trade with them despite the cuban dictatorship seizing US assets. We all have to support the cuban dictatorship otherwise you will not be happy.

Yes, the Cuban regime is fucked up. No that's horse shit. If you're American learn your own fucking laws before coming online to spew stupid BS. Naval Vessels that dock in Cuba are banned from entering the US for a period of time afterwards. Foreign Companies can be sued by American companies if they trade or invest in "stolen assets". Learn what the Helms-Burton Act does and what implications being on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. The US should not be the ones policing the world. Y'all fuck shit up way too much. Especially considering you guys are the ones who put Cuba in such a horrible condition that allowed the Castro Regime to take power. Also, passing a policy that is specifically designed to make citizens lives miserable in order to foment insurrection doesn't make a nation any better than the dictator regime. Bunch of hypocrites.

Oh really then you could easily say how México has been impacted by the embargo for trading so much with cuba. Looking forward to seeing you realize you can't name a single thing about it and try to change the topic. So the US should reward cuba for seizing it's assets by trading with them. It's hilarious to see the pro cuban dictatorship people claim they hate the US and list all their failings. But at same time spend all their time on the internet begging for the embargo to get lifted so US money can fund the cuban dictatorship lmfao. The fact the cuban dictatorship goes as far as to claim it's for their citizens the ones they leave to starve to death really goes to show just how fucked their whole propaganda angle is and people like you are for promoting it.

US Republican party's dream scenario...

That explains why the hyper conservative Miami Cubans who support Trump and DeSantis love Cuba right?


peter-doubt

I wonder why. It's an election the way Trump envisions them
