Honestly its rude to be invited by a country to meet their president who decided to respond to your criticisms of their administration only to not show up and go meet the opposition.
Being invided and then no showing shows complete disregard to basic diplomatic Etiquette since it was a mission to show solidarity against the embargo
Bonus socdems being cringe part 4.5: about another member that didnt show up to the presidential meeting
Deeply unserious people
It’s written by DSA members trying to improve the DSA, it seems pretty clear they’d focus on what they want to improve rather than back-patting themselves on aid they brought.
If the scope of your plan for Cuba is limited to the amount of supplies you can carry in suitcases, you might want to find more productive places to focus your efforts to help Cuba. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to not focus on the drop-in-the-bucket level of material support their delegation was able to bring for an entire nation. Either way, I guarantee the writers of the article can walk and chew gum just like the rest of us can.

Then why fixate on the two members of a two dozen person delegation you’ve got beef with?
I don’t see anything in this article about the next step in extending relief to Cuba. I don’t even see a “follow my link to learn how to help us do X”.
The impression I get from this article is that the visit was a mistake, the DSA International Committee won’t be following up or doing anything like it again, and members should feel bad about even making this much of an effort.
