Florida hasn't been a swing state in years, and it's not like Cuban Americans are ever going to vote Democrat regardless.

If they're never going to vote Democrat then you want to eliminate reasons for them to go vote for Republicans. A Democrat running on eliminating the embargo would energize more of them to vote Republican rather than sit it out.

There is no reason to further antagonize Cuban expats for zero political gain elsewhere in the US. No other major voting block in the US gives a shit about Cuba.

Except, you know, to do the right thing. Caring what a bunch of parasitic cowards think is such a stupid justification for cruelty.
