Cuba is an interesting one.

The problems with Cuba are political prisoners and their handling of AIDS. And a huge chunk of issues intertwined with the trade embargo.

As with all nations, it could be better, but it's far from the worst nation in the world.

Better than the US that's for sure.

By what metric was the USA better than Cuba?

Cuba literally has better rights for queer people than the US now, so yeah, I'm curious what metrics as well. Looking forward to some response from them.
