Because free and fair elections are determined internally as they always have? Whether elections are free and fair is determined by the state.

America cannot make Cuban elections less free or fair and you would have to fundamentally not understand what "free and fair" elections are to assert otherwise. If Cuban elections are neither free nor fair the culprit would be the Cuban government/Cuban Communist Party.

Cuba seems to only prmit the Cuban Communist Party to exist as a party. Robbing the citizenry the choice of what political path to follow is not the actions of free elections but is oppressive. Why would someone back the oppression of the will of the people?

Correct, which is why westerners should shut the fuck up and stop giving their uneducated opinions about whether other countries elections are "free and fair" (ie. Result in the outcome America wants.)
