i don't blame him for not knowing or not citing that it was government propaganda. in the very least, he was condoning its efficiency. better education is what america needs. not these distracting conversations about cuba

Hahaha...I don't blame him for rationalizing an evil dictatory. America needs better readers.

he didn't "rationalize an evil dictatorship". are you incapable of getting out of that linear mindset for once?

Yes he did, and Cuban Nationals who went through the re-educaion program know it.

Santiago addressed this point directly, telling Sanders, “The ‘free education’ in Cuba isn’t free, and the Castro literacy program the American left has bought into is rooted in indoctrination and devotion to the one-party political system. Your apparatchik views on Cuba, senator, are as old and dated as the photos of me and my mother.”

alright, so he made a mistake. doesn't make him the worst person in the world. i don't know which candidate you're going for, but i assure you that he made a mistake like this if not the same

He repeated the defense for a second time during last night's debate. It's not a mistake.

at last night's debate, they were trying to twist his message into supporting a murderous dictator, despite that being far from his intentions. the other candidates who aren't bernie, despite trying to smear him, are either warhawks (klobochar), funded by the rich (buttigeig), self-funded (steyer, bloomberg), or supported by moral grandstanders (warren, biden). bernie's the only one with genuine grassroots support. honestly, they shouldn't have been talking about that, but rather talking about *real* issues, but oh no that's too good for us. the media wants to buzz about russia smears and how talking about cuba is apparently offensive. i'm honestly tired of the american people buying into the media's dumb tactics.

I don't care if Bernie has genuine grass roots support, the man genuinely defended a dictators propaganda machine, multiple time, and under a false narrative.
