Trump vs. Biden: Taking Different Stances on Cuban Freedom
For more than six decades from the original Independence Day of Cuba , it has served as a reminder of what was missing in Cuba: freedom that a lot of people paid and sacrificed in attempting to reclaim.
In her piece in a News agency, Ali Pardo said that to date, Cubans stay "abused and censored by their own government," while a greater part of the globe seems to have a blind eye towards the situation.
Pardo dates back in 1961, when the Cuban exile troops of the so-called Brigade 2506 which she said, included her grandfather, embarked on an unsuccessful attempt to liberate Cuba from the dictator, Fidel Castro.
Castro, as described in her piece, was the one who stripped "the citizens of their rights." The group of men, she continued, bravely tried hard to give their country, their fellow citizens, and their families the liberty most citizens are enjoying in America.
What Drives Her Love for Country and Freedom
Pardo's story, specifically her family escaping Cuba is what she shared, drives her "love for country and liberty."
Her grandfather's generation's determination to fight back and conquer the hard times in a quest for a better future for their children exemplifies the "American Dream."
Pardo recalled, Cuban Americans like her, took comfort knowing the fact that, far from the other international communities, presidents of America, she claimed, fought for liberty and human rights of citizens of Cuba.
Nevertheless, at present, Pardo said, an emerging group of the Democratic Party is pampering socialist dictatorships such as Cuba and "cheers on" as communism goes amuck in Latin America.
The Cuban-American recalled the time when Democratic leaders were wise enough to keep what she called "the leftist ideologues" within their ranks in check.
But at present, Pardo continued, the Democratic Party's far-left wing which Sen. Bernie Sanders leads. Sanders is known for praising the "literacy programs" of Castro. He has also taken control of the policy agenda of the Democratic Party.
And, even though Sanders has dropped out of the race for the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party, former Vice President Joe Biden, who Pardo described as the "presumptive Democratic presidential nominee," is grasping much of the racial agenda of Senator Sanders.
Taking Different Stances
Just in April, when asked if he would return to the unsuccessful, Obama-era rule of pacifying the Cuban dictatorship, Biden's quick reply was, "Yes, I would."
Biden's duplication of the Cuban policy of former President Barack Obama, according to Pardo, is yet another instance of his inclination to sell out the longstanding vows of America to liberty in Latin America so he can win over the present time's Democratic Party's far-left group.
On the contrary, President Trump has taken a crucial move in combating the repressive administration in Cuba. Relatively, he enforced strong authorizations on the Cuban military funneling enormous swaths of the wealth of Cuba into the hands of the domineering leaders of the nation, including their cronies.
Biden proposed appeasement, instead, which, according to Pardo, is a risky proposition. The failed policy of Obama is said to have activated human rights abuses, not to mention, enriched officials who were corrupt in Cuba.
It also reportedly propped up the other Latin American social dictators. As a result, mass migration, famine, and conflict took place across the region.
