Cuba's most consistent political ideology is nationalism. From Martí and Maceo to Grau, Chibás, and yes, sadly, the current regime.
Cubans will never agree to becoming a U.S. state.
One reason I'm for DC statehood: The growth in size of the republic--and our distinctive manner of growth, admitting states with equal status--has always been a sign of our vigor. 60 years at 50 states is enough. Time for DC, Puerto Rico, Cuba (as soon as it's free), 1 or 2 more?

You know what he didn’t inherit? A border crisis with Haitian refugees and Afghans falling out of airplanes. His incompetent administration owns that.
Biden responds to his administration's recent crises: "Take a look at what I inherited when I came into office, the state of affairs and where we were. We had 4 million people vaccinated, we had no plan — I could go down the list...I'm not complaining, it's just the reality."
