For those of you who may not be aware, Cuba is an island country run by a dictatorial Communist regime. This regime has in the past been openly admired by members of the U.S. Democrat Party. One can only wonder what it is they support. Do they agree with the shortages of food, medicine, gasoline, electricity, and human rights? What about the Cuban regime’s corruption, low wages, reeducation camps, torture, and firing squads?
