That was back before Florida went ruby-red. I see no reason to cater to the emigres: whatever the many flaws of the Havana regime, the US supports worse.

Furthermore, the emigres fell over themselves to support DeSantis, authoritarian reactionary Republicans, and cowards. Progressives owe the nothing.

IMO, the emigres don’t want to replace the Havana regime with a free, representative republic. What they want is a right-wing Machado v 2.0 dictatorship.
