    Your way has already been rejected by VA and MD, and why would any Democrat go along with it?
    if they can't get 51 votes.



    Right, but we don't need your input to make DC a state. We can just do it with 51 votes in the Senate.
    if you're not interested in input why are you here? You know what this website is don't you?



    To fold DC into Virginia would require DC to vote to approve that plan, would require the voters in VA to approve that plan, would require the VA State Legislature to vote that plan, and would require 2/3 of Congress and the Senate to approve that plan, PLUS you need the Governors to sign off on all of it...and Biden.
    why would you need an amendment for Virginia to accept non-governmental parts of DC?

    It's no conspiracy, it's truth.

    You have how many IDs here? Dozens? Hundreds? And you're so sloppy with it that you accidentally respond under a different ID than you intended.

    "We have Democratic control of the House of Representatives, the Senate and now the White House, and the leadership in all of those bodies have expressed support for D.C. Statehood," she said, adding that Joe Biden is a "longtime" supporter of the District becoming a state.

    It absolutely should happen. There's no excuse for people being disenfranchised this way. And it wouldn't be happening if the city wasn't majority black.

    Opposition to DC statehood is the same as the trumpistas yelling at black election workers in Detroit, it's the same as trumpistas screaming about blacks in Atlanta voting for Warnock and Ossof, etc.


    White people, especially trumpsexuals, lose their MINDS when black people are allowed to vote.

    This is all about white supremacy. Full stop. DC needs to be a state to return balance to the senate.

    It would not be the smallest state. Wyoming and Vermont are both smaller. It's absurd that they have two senators and DC has zero, and no vote in Congress.

    Thanks for making it so easy to do that by showing us all who you really are.
    You are making my argument for me: this isn't as black and white as you want to make it.

    No, it's you not wanting to eat shit for what you said, so you just switch IDs so you don't have to.


    Why would I make more than one ID?
    I'm glad you asked...several reasons:

    1. Because you got tired of eating shit under your other IDs for all your past predictions
    2. Because you want to astroturf more support for your bullshit than actually exists
    3. Because you are insecure in your own identity and have to pose and posture as someone or something else
    4. Because you lack credibility and need to establish some in order for you to be taken seriously
    5. Because you're a compulsive liar

    You're not making an argument, you're just being contrary and you think that's an argument...but it's not. It's just laziness, and it's disappointing. I already have to lower my expectations of you.


    Go for it. See what happens.
    What'll happen is that DC will be a state, the Democrats will gain two Senators and at least 1 Congressional representative, and the ~700,000 people who live in DC right now won't be disenfranchised.

    Statehood would have benefitted DC on 1/6 because the DC governor could have called up their State Guard.

    What I am still waiting on is your explanation of how DC will flip red by 2028.

    Where the fuck are you getting this theory?

    What cities have become MORE conservative as they have grown? DC is an urban center. Zero urban centers become more Republican the bigger they get. Quite the opposite.

    This is also rich, coming from someone who didn't vote for Biden, didn't try to get him elected, and did everything you could to BoThSiDeS it with Trump.

    I didn't like Biden, but I still got behind him, UNIFYING with the Democratic Party to defeat Trump.

    You didn't do SHIT when it came to that. In fact, you worked against it.

    So it's rich hearing these hollow and impotent demands for accommodation from someone who didn't even put in the work.
