DemSocs are great, but AOC is proving she's a western SocDem.

    All that said, who the hell is still arguing for an embargo?

    Hexbear dot net is pretty far removed from the real world:

    Just last month, the U.S. opposed a United Nations resolution to condemn the six-decade embargo on Cuba — a move that, according to the New York Times, was seen as a litmus test of Biden’s willingness to reverse the actions from the previous administration. The Obama administration, when Biden served as vice president, chose to abstain from voting on the UN resolution instead of directly opposing it.

      Bad and gross. It would be interesting if UN resolution vote results were actually discussed in our news cycles instead of non-stories like the protest. It really demonstrates how far the US is out of step with the rest of the world reality.

      I refuse the position that Trump was a not-in-all-ways-bad, could-have-been-worse president because he gave us an interregnum on US imperialism. He talked the talk of isolationism but he reversed the thaw on Cuba and sunk our relations with China.

      Glad to see Biden is proudly continuing his legacy on both of those fronts.
