Have you seen the beaches in Florida? 

If states aren’t going to shut down their state, they might as well vote. 

 

The Governor said he won’t shut them down either.

I don't think Bernie's "praising" of Fidel Castro, China, etc. was a good idea.

Truly disturbing... What is happening?

Last Thursday we had like 24 cases here in the Province of Quebec, Canada, and our PM announced closure of schools for 2 weeks, no events of 250+ people, 14-day mandatory isolement for state employees that travelled during spring break + voluntary isolement for others.

Then Friday he announced national sanitary emergency by closing visits in hospitals, old people care houses.. and on Saturday he closed public libraries, museums, theaters, gyms... he limited restaurants to 50% of their capacity and recommends everyone to work from home if they can. if you lose your job because of the virus, the government will give you 570$/week to keep you afloat. you have the right to not go to work if you're working in contact with the public etc. 

Idk what are the measures in the US but like... I'm not seeing anyone having parties here 

It’s a big party on all the beaches. They will be bringing the virus back home to states all over after Spring Break.

We need to be shutting every state down like NY state! That includes all the rest of the primaries!

What’s interesting is how LatinX voters showed up for Bernie hard in western states but completely rejected him in Florida. My guess is border issues were more pressing for Mexican-American/ Central American and SA voters than they were for Cuban-American voters?

Early guess because I haven’t seen the actual numbers.

My guess is that people who escaped an island on homebuilt rafts for days or weeks in shark infested waters don't like it when people praise the man they were escaping.

Bernie praising Fidel Castro did not help him.

He said the exact same thing that Obama said. The press deliberately made it an issue so that they could hammer him on it.

You know I can’t believe the Castro association flew right over my head.

God I hate how msm twisted this so much. 
 

Floridians have been mislead into thinking Obama hasn’t said the same thing (twice) and that it was only brought up bc or Anderson Cooper. 
 

and now it’s literally caused them to vote against their own interests bc of Trump derangement syndrome ugghhh it’s just so tragic to me really

I don't know why you keep saying this. He did not praise Fidel Castro. In a video from twenty or thirty years ago, he said that the Cuban literacy program and their healthcare system were more successful than ours, which is literally an objective fact. Cuba is already having success with an antiviral aimed at stopping corona (that China has already expressed interest in) while our private sector-run healthcare network is flailing to even attempt to begin to address the crisis. The press deliberately brought that video up to try to spin this narrative.

Yes we both know that. 

But at the end of the day, it was a really stupid thing to defend about the Castro regime- especially when he's trying to win Latinos/ Hispanics in FLORIDA. 

Also Obama was in Cuba as a guest if I'm not mistaken, and even then, some people were not happy with his comments. 

Bernie was given multiple times to explain himself, and instead he just doubled down on his Castro support. Clearly it backfired.
