We also must name the U.S. contribution to Cuban suffering: our sixty-year-old embargo. Last month, once again, the U.N. voted overwhelmingly to call on the United States to lift its embargo on Cuba. The embargo is absurdly cruel and, like too many other U.S. policies targeting Latin Americans, the cruelty is the point. I outright reject the Biden administration’s defense of the embargo. It is never acceptable for us to use cruelty as a point of leverage against every day people
AOC has been calling for a cease fire and more aid since last year. She might not have used the word genocide until now, but it’s not like she has been cool with things up till now either.
That’s thanks to the excellent healthcare system. The country is still lacking in food, medical supplies, and building materials — all of which could just be imported as necessary like any other country if not for the embargo.
Better late than never I guess
She should consider also applying this knowledge to the embargo on the Cuban people
Edit: Obviously not trying to downplay the genocide in Gaza if it came across like that.
I think she’s done that as well

Ooh based

The fact that Alex Jones beat her to the punch on calling it a genocide is embarrassing.
Pretty bad comparison when Cubans have higher life expectancy than Americans.

Dont be fooled. Shes doing this to not be voted out, not because she cares
