I just realised that plenty of mainstream US Democrats, having spent the last however long castigating people to the left of them for perceiving some progressive tendencies in the government of Fidel Castro, are now reduced to supporting the re-election of a President who imprisons people without human rights in Cuba, but who has made excellent advances in the field of bringing healthcare to the poor.
It’s like reading The Onion. I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry, though I think that any improvements on bringing healthcare to the poor is over stated.
