I've said it before: Democrats trying to rhetorically out-hardline Republican Cuba hardliners in the context of this campaign will make for an awkward pivot back to a policy of engagement, which remains in the best interests of the United States and the Cuban people. https://twitter.com/JoseJavierJJR/status/1298697901980426241

Pointing out the Trump campaign/administration's hypocrisy on Cuba matters? Totally fair game. Go with god.

But how does the party get back to supporting needed diplomatic dialogue and people-to-people support of the kind the Obama admin pushed?

Maybe I simply don't grasp the utter non-relation between campaign season and policy season, but I fail to see how this rhetoric doesn't make that transition harder, especially if it is adopted by prominent surrogates of the Biden campaign.
