Libs only think it’s cruel and pointless because it prevents Americans from easily vacationing there and getting cigars.

Americans will topple the Cuban regime by consuming so many piña coladas in varadero that the entire country runs out of rum, coconut milk, and pineapples.

Not just this, but for a bit, we LARP as libs who only want the Cuban blockade lifted because we want to consume treats. Even :grillman: might sympathize with our noble consumerist goal.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
