Let's go back in history to settle the statehood issue for Puerto Rico and DC.

[U2Edge]

Back in the 1800s, we had the Missouri Compromise on the issue of free and slave states by keeping the balance of admitting one free state for every slave state. What if we admitted Puerto Rico and DC as liberal states and then add East California and South Virginia to keep the balance?

California and Virginia would never agree to that. Plus what type of balance are you trying to maintain exactly? What are consider red states or blue states currently is temporary and will change over time. The Puerto Rico state option has always been there and if it happens in the next few years, so be it. Seems only logical that residents in D.C. should have representation in the Senate and the House given their three electoral votes. So they should be a state as well. The current political divide in the nation should not be something involved in deciding this issue.

DC was purposely excluded as a state for good reason. It needs to stay that way. PR is a third world shit hole. How about we just rescinded their territory status.

We should get rid of Missouri.

Seriously, would anyone miss it?

Yes, every time you went shopping you’d miss us. The question is would we miss you?

Shopping? LOL Ok.

Yes. And that response is why you left wingers are idiots. You have no fucking clue how your food, energy or anything else actually get to those store shelves.

We'll find another red state to grow whatever the yokels in Misery grow. Its what superiors do to inferiors...we exploit people like you.

I'd be fine with PR wanting to be a state, but then I thought Cuba shudda been Florida2. I mean we won it the old fashioned way … a war. It was ours, dammit. Now, Panama …. who wants a river.

Well, if we're going to be serious about this....

DC will be folded into Maryland and PR can be folded into Florida or SC or whatever if I were doing it. The three electoral votes for DC will go away. It's pretty dumb to have an even number of votes anyway.

Typical leftist. "I think the middle of the country is unimportant, so obviously that's what everyone thinks."

Truth of the matter is, Cornball, for most the country, it's worthless dumpster fires like NY and CA that no one would miss.

I'm not saying they're unimportant shit brains.
They're less important than they think they are.

In truth the citizens of Missouri are no more or less important than the citizens of PR or DC.
Yet you guys call PR a shit hole? Why because they have brown skin. Ignorant fuck stains like yourself are so eaten up with the dumbass that you can't see how xenophobic you are.

Take another drag of your cancer stick. Hopefully the chemicals will relieve us of your presence sooner rather than later.

DC and Puerto Rico aren't being admitted as states, so it's a moot discussion

The Founders created the District of Columbia because they felt the nation's capital should not be associated with any certain state in the Union.

Unfortunately, this leaves the residents of D.C. sucking hind teat (to be as polite as possible), but since the predominant color of D.C. residents is not white, it's perfectly understandable why the RWNJs would prefer to keep them at their current status.

As far as Puerto Rico, the impeached president trump's mocking of the hurricane-destroyed island and its people likely soured the population there on the entire GOP for the foreseeable future.

But, don't worry, the corporate loving/worker hating corporate Democrats are working every bit as hard to become hated by the constituents they claim to serve.

We don't need some shithole 3rd world island dragging down the mainland.

Sell that shit to someone for a Klondike bar. It only takes a minimal amount of intelligence to see what kind of massive tourist trap you could build to make bank. Yet here they are decades later living in squalor.


As for DC, you get what you vote for. A shithole surrounded by beauty.

puerto rico is kind of shitholish but nothing like arkansas, missouri, alabama, mississippi or oklahoma among others...

Puerto Rico pays Federal Taxes and even if they didn't they have a right of equal representation.

Uh, no. They do not pay federal income taxes. Educate yourself!

No they don't. And no they don't.

They deserve representation equal to what they contribute....which is ZERO

As usual it is the left that injects race with their projections.

I'm sure that's a devastating critique, coming from someone who brings down the quality of a place just by infecting it with your presence.

Hey, nobody's forcing those people to stay in DC. They know the risks versus the rewards, and since I'm not a leftist, I don't assume they're ignorant children who are incapable of weighing the two and making their choices.

Funny, I was going to say that's what leeches do: sucking off of everything around them while contributing nothing of use themselves.
