So I hear that Miami voted to secede from the 50 States by dropping off into the sea.

'Cuz, turning your back on candidates that would support climate change prevention means succession by natural attrition.

I guess the Bautista Cubanitos can take a flotilla back to Cuba. Always good to have options.

You'd think they'd give a damn about being worthless in the future.

We need a Latino-American that has cross-over appeal.

But to break the fear of socialism, you are also going to need a massive education program to inform latino Americans that American socialized programs are not the same thing as dictatorship socialism that they know from their countries.

I went to school in FL and should have known better than to wonder. You are right about the fear of socialism and I'm empathetic to that concern.

The gop has pushed this narrative on the Cuban population and its been slowly going red. We need to do a much better job of countering that. IMHO

We have to remind the good ole boys of Central and North Florida that the Latino-American refugees from Miami could also migrate into their counties.

Really, this might be fun to watch. Having lived in Panama in my formative years, I know what's coming.
