Florida Dems to Biden: Don’t blow ‘golden opportunity’ on CubaFlorida Democrats see what many are calling a “golden opportunity” in Cuba’s historic uprisings: a chance for President Joe Biden to help bring democracy to the island and, as a result, attract the Hispanic voters that he hemorrhaged eight months ago How’s he going to bring democracy to Cuba? We can’t even have fair and clean elections in the US They would have shown that on Nov 3, 2020. This is our chance. POTUS please do not screw this up. We need the Cubans on our side. It could help us win the senate seat and the governor's race next year and maybe the presidential race. The Cuban vote is critical.

And good luck getting any trade agreements with other nations. Adios, amigos, and good riddance.
