8. Then, why do Fla and national Democratic candidates run on the same platform regarding this?

The US's inhumane extraterritorial sanctions on Cuba and collective punishment of Cubans have always been bipartisan.

President Obama made some inroads for a path to normalization, but, Herr tRump pissed on that and his fascist minions put Cuba back on the State Sponsor of Terrorism list w/o any substantive evidence ... but ... tRump policy still is in place.

President Biden has not changed it. Why? Does he really think that Cuban-American tRump humpers will vote for him when they have the exact same policy?

PLUS, not all Cuban-Americans are tRump humpers, in recent Bendixen polling about 50% expose normalization with Cuba so their families at home can live better lives - they understand the impacts of the US's extraterritorial sanctions on their families - most of whom were born after the 1959 Revolution.

Why do Democrats ignore this demographic, but instead pander to the worst RW Cuban "exile" diaspora? It makes zero sense.

Now, Miami-Dade is a red county - making Florida a Red State now. Pandering to the RW Cuban and Venezuelan "exiles" has really backfired, imo.
