    Hey, too close to election for me to not fervently call out misinformation bullshit like this:

    It was The Trump Administration who signed the National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-5)

    National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-5): Signed on June 16, 2017, this policy outlined the Trump administration’s approach to rolling back aspects of the Cuba normalization process. It directed restrictions on travel, business dealings with Cuban entities controlled by the military, and restrictions on educational and cultural exchanges.

    It was Donald Trump who directed the creation of the Cuba Restricted List

    The U.S. Department of State, following Trump’s directives, created a list of Cuban entities with which direct financial transactions are prohibited. This list largely includes businesses owned by or affiliated with the Cuban military, intelligence, or security services. It was first issued in November 2017 and has been updated several times since.

    Has absolutely nothing to do with Biden or his administration. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

      I was more pointing out how Biden has done little or nothing to REVERSE Trump’s regressions despite having the power to.

        Oh good, let’s blame the guy who didn’t do something instead of the guy who did.

          It’s not about saying Biden is to blame. Trump 100% should have blame.

          But the fact that someone else STARTED (or in this case re-started) a bad thing doesn’t mean the next person in power gets a free pass for not working to stop it again.

          So it’s perfectly fair to call out Biden for not stopping the bad thing that Trump (re)started.

          False dichotomy.

          You can blame more than one person at a time. You don’t have to pick one or the other to blame.

          Also, straw man.

          You made assumptions about the speaker that were never originally implied.

          How convenient that the Democrats can act so powerless. If we don’t like Republican policies, and Democrats won’t change them, what’s the point of voting Democrat?

          Exactly! Not doing something to stop a problem is not the same as causing it. Also, if you don’t vote for Harris you’re voting for Trump.

      I think he’s implying Biden didn’t roll back Trump’s policy or try to begin normalization again.

          No of course not why would the most powerful man on earth and former VP to the president who made that progress with Cuba have any responsibility to change anything.

          He had the power and has not done it. It IS as bad as Trump’s actions to uphold them.

      Biden isn’t running anymore. You don’t have to defend his unwillingness to roll back Trump policy anymore.

        There’s a shitton of Trump’s policies that need reversing.

        But, as always, it takes more time, effort and resources to build or fix something than it does to break them.

        Biden’s admin has been working through the heap, but some things take priority over others.

          Particularly when it comes to foreign policy.
