Returning to MD would for sure solve a lot of the arguments about representation, tax issues, etc. I agree on PR it's not as liberal at least socially as many

I agree on PR it's not as liberal at least socially as many would assume. But DC is 100% a very very liberal city.
Polling has moved our direction, right now a plurality outside the margin nationwide support DC statehood at least in the last polls I've seen asking it.
And personally as you can guess my obvious political worldview I also don't think DC statehood alone is even enough power to seriously tip the scales against all the Republican tactics and advantages with the many other small states with aging populations/young wealthy people moving out. DC would just tip the scale slightly more towards equal IMHO
- BuyMyBitcoins 5y agoI just hope the Supreme Court would find a DC statehood bill unconstitutional. There are so many other ways to address DC citizens grievances than adding a new state that is fundamentally different than the other 50 - in no small part because it was designed as an independent patch of land not part of any state.
