in cuba you’re allowed to immediately vote any elected representative out who isnt serving their constituents.

in the US representatives arent even expected to serve their constituents. they’re just expected to make their donors happy and then the constituents who bare the brunt of this defend the representative with “at least its not a guy from the other party who has the same donors and would be doing the exact same stuff!!”

his succdem tendencies are no surprise, tho im not really sure what the point of being this much of a rube are. who are you expecting to win over? i dont think your average lib is all that invested in whether or not cuba or venezuela are dictatorships and his more left wing constituents dont wanna hear that bs. the only people that care about this are pundits who want a cheap gotcha, so why entertain them? if they ask what you think about those places, if you think supporting them is politically detrimental(which i dont believe it is personally) just say you’re getting elected to represent cuban and venezuelan new yorkers, not cubans and venezuelans in their respective home countries.
