It depends if you think someone could have miscounted by 1.3 million votes.

Oh please.

Is anyone here still hoping for the results to be overturned? I feel like it’s foolish after all that’s happened, but there’s a little seed in me that whispers “maybe”, and I don’t quite know what to do with it.

A maggot riddled death is not good enough for this one who deserves an eternity in hell. Rot in hell, Fidel. And all your accomplices.

His death is more symbolic than anything.

the stuff i’ve read about Fidel has all been kinda “meh” on the guy, so I haven’t taken much of an opinion. But just the other day, someone was tweeting about communism and how it helps non white countries and said “Mao had some really great ideas.” and i was like....................full stop. its one thing to discuss…

Ummm. No. You don’t get to fucking lead this with his “accomplishments” and conveniently leave out the massacres of 1959, the 41 dead (including 10 children) when he ordered state boats to destroy a group of refugees trying to flee the country, among many, many other atrocities this man committed. I lived in Miami…

Talk to some Cuban exiles about Fidel and you will get the real picture of who the man was.

*imprisoned thousands of political dissidents. But hey free healthcare! How would gizmo like to be imprisoned for their political beliefs?

GOOD

Good riddance. Pretty much everyone agrees that Cuba is economically stagnant and dysfunctional, but they tend to get a pass because the health and education statistics are good despite that (never mind that Cuba had some of the highest health and education statistics in Latin America even before the revolution). That…

The romance lives on mostly due to young quasi-liberals who REALLY haven’t done their research. For crying out loud there’s been lots of recent posts going round tumblr from a bit from older liberals begging the younger ones to PLEASE stop romanticizing the Soviet Union already. Because yes there are a lot of young…

It’s always a good day when someone like finally Castro dies.

This has always been the academic left’s great moral confusion: criticize capitalism/America, and we’re going to overlook your murderous and illiberal ways. It was so with Mao, it was so with Stalin, and it’s been so with every other minor tyrant.

Mr.O’Connor’s rather glowing description of Castro’s many accomplishments conveniently left out Castro’s jailing, torture, and murder of anyone who opposed him, the notable difference in the standard of living between the party elite and the average Cuban, and the loss of property of thousands of hard working Cubans…

Kind of amazing that Colin Kaepernick has to play in Miami on Sunday.

So long you murdering piece of crap, I hope god has mercy on your soul, you had damn little mercy for other people in your life. You do not undo injustice with more injustice, damn sure after you are in power.

I guess it will be a Merry Christmas in Miami.

Good riddance.

Punting is okay, but it's hard.
