lol.

See how easy it is to post ahistorical and under-informed comments?
And you are free to do so.

FYI,
The current Cuban National Assembly (the national parliament) is composed of less than 35% communist party members. The rest are independent parliamentarians.

No political party picks any slate of candidates in any Regional, Provincial, National Assembly candidate selection or election.

Anyone 17 years old and up can run for office - as long as they do not have a felony criminal record.

Candidates are selected by citizen votes in runoff elections.

No one running for office would ever espouse banning abortion, limiting gay rights, changing the constitution into a christian based constitution, privatization, foreign monetization, enslaving themselves to IMF loans and selling off their public infrastructures to banks and venture capitalists. They know it would be the ruination of their beautiful nation.

I lived there. Grew up there. I now live in the US. I am a registered Democratic voter. I espouse the ultimate goals of the Democratic Party ... universal healthcare for all, universal education for all.

Like Cuba has.

Any more quick and factless google results for us?
