You can spare me the lecture on how these are all western propaganda and get to the part where you provide any proof that Fidel Castro held elections. I don’t care if it’s Cuban, Venezuelan, Russian, whoever. If they held elections, there must have at least been one article in fifty years.

Checked your first source and it literally doesn't say anywhere that Castro didn't have elections. So Further proof that you're acting in pure bad faith and just posting random links to try and waste my time.

Edit: Checked another, also doesn't contain your claim, you lying shitstain.

So you watched a video and made assumptions about all of the remaining articles?

It’s no wonder you have such a skewed and ignorant opinion and handle cognitive dissonance with aggressive outbursts.

You need to read more.

Lol, so you admit you're deliberately spamming links regardless of whether they support your claim just so you can waste my time by saying "Oh but you didn't read all of them". And now you're throwing a tantrum that I didn't rise too it.

Fucker, you didn't even read your own sources, don't go telling other people to read more.

They cite his claim that he’ll hold elections in 18 months, but there’s no mention of an election, and he remained in power for 5 decades. What is so hard to comprehend?

How about you find one source stating there were elections, rather than asking for proof of non-existence. It’s like arguing with a Christian over here.

He won't because he can't
