You idiot. Thats only for the electoral college. For the senate, its approximately 68× the power. Thats absolutely ludicrous.

it's islamophobia to ask where are the women and children refugees

 

It's invasion phobic to ask,  not islamophonic. 

Most invaders leave their wives and kids behind.  Refugees bring them.  Because it is unsafe for the wives and children back home.

DC was never intended to be a state and never should be one.  Dems wouldn’t be pushing for it if it wasn’t predominantly blue.  

And Republicans wouldn’t be filibustering if it was red.  Essentially no one lived in DC when the constitution was ratified so unclear how relevant that is to the current situation.  I doubt it was the intention to leave 700,000 people unrepresented in congress. There is no other democracy that leaves residents of its capital city without representation in the national legislature.  

To me it’s pretty clear the right thing is to give DC representation in Congress. That could either be through statehood or joining an adjacent state.  Statehood is most likely because it would seem that neither DC residents nor Marylanders want DC to join Maryland.  The only argument against DC getting representation is the title of this thread - republicans don’t like how DC residents think.

PR isnt much over 50% for it. 

In Puerto Rico there were three options in the referendum.  Just under 60% voted for statehood and just over 10% wanted total sovereignty with under 30% wanting the status quo.  Statehood was preferred 2-1 to the status quo.   DC has higher support for statehood (~80%), but breaking off to form a new country isn’t really an option like it is for PR.  If 80% of Puerto Ricans voted for statehood in the next referendum would you get behind the cause?
