Omg her face. She's heard (and crushed) so many pathetic arguments in her career, but this still surprised her

Why is there such a push for DC but not PR when in the last election PR voted in favor of statehood (again)...

There's a push for both

There's pushback on DC from the right because those would pretty much be two additional permanent Democratic senate seats

We need to protect Eleanor Holmes-Norton, if for no other reason than the amount of horseshit placed before her on the daily.

I agree with him, except I think that DC shouldn't have statehood because I think the United States should be disbanded, and also members of the Heritage Foundation should go to prison.

So when are they actually going to vote for DC statehood?
They're not. They'd have to get rid of the filibuster first, which is very unlikely. But even then, Joe Manchin would be a piece of shit and vote against it because he'd personally be losing a lot of power despite his party gaining power.

Isn't filibuster reform looking more and more likely?
They're not going to get rid of it outright, but there's a lot to suggest reforming it is likely going to happen sooner or later yeah

I swear I remember reading that DC is more "ready" or something.

Scoff if you will but I love the idea of admitting Caribbean places as Canadian provinces or territories

I mean it'd be cool to have a tropical destination that you didn't even need a passport to get to, but a lot of the islands down there are even poorer than our current-poorest territory (which I believe is Yukon), so they make no sense outside of being strategic "acquisitions" to counteract Chinese (surprise!) influence.

My favorite argument. Unless we can admit 5 territories in as states at once, let's keep 50.

Break texas into 3. 1/3 north Texas, 1/3rd west texas, and 1/3rd that has Houston, Dallas, and Austin all the way to the coast.

This is a very agreeable agreement that everyone can agree to.
