Yep.

They won't, but they should.

We'll probably never have legitimate elections again in this country.

Yes. I’d go a step further and give native Americans representation similar to statehood too.

If the Democrats win nothing will change.

They will continue to push the overton window, as they keep the seat warm for the next right wing fascist.

This is what Democrats have done with power over the last 50 years.

We either get ranked choice voting going, or elect a 3rd party, otherwise we stay on the same path the Duopoly was designed to keep us trapped on.

It’s not just the House, the Senate and the President also need to be on board. The House passing a resolution would at least illustrate who’s holding things up, though.

Doesn't Puerto Rico not want statehood?

Yes but they won't do it.

Statehood or independence for Puerto Rico and while we're at it the Pacific islands and any other colonial possessions.

DC can be rolled into Virginia just fine as the compromise.

Democrats are praising ICE and defending genocide. What in the world makes you think they’d do anything progressive, if they won a majority?

At the very very least they should at least have a single voting representative for fucks sake.

gop would never agree to it in the senate. Also old guard DNC doesnt seem keen on giving statehood as would the gop, it will just include too many problems for them

It's crazy that there was a whole shitshow about taxation without representation (though the colonists certainly cost money starting shit with native peoples), yet over 200 years later, there are still people taxed without representation.

They should offer it and both DC and PR should get to vote on the issue.

they should. they wont.

I am going to pick a bone about Puerto Rico. Why do some Americans would like to try to give statehood to Puerto Rico? Literally half of Puerto Ricans can't decide on whether they want to be fully independent, or completely integrate with the US! Let the Puerto Ricans decisively settle it themselves, before mainland Americans debate whether they should grant the island statehood.

It’ll mess up the flag (51 or 52 stars don’t go into a regular grid), so they’ll need a one-in-one-out policy. A start could be merging the Dakotas and Carolinas.

Two words: Douglass Commonwealth

The United States is a fascist country.

Wondering what the minority party would do if it regained power is not a relevant use of time imo.
