We’re talking about the Democrats here. They LOVE running their unpopular pet candidates.

It’s significant, since the actual people of Puerto Rico have never voted for statehood before, and thus congress admitting them has been a moot point until now.

Puerto Ricans disagree with you, it seems. Independence was the other option on this ballot.

I mean it wouldn’t get them bombed. They would just become a US satellite state, like the Pacific territories that seceded peacefully. But there are significant material benefits to becoming a state, like welfare and better aid in the case of another hurricane. Seceding would also possibly cost them the right to immigrate to the US.

Wasn’t the US response to the last hurricane famously inept?

Yes, and that’s the reason why opinion shifted in favor of statehood. If they were a state, then they would probably get a better response, since among other things politicians would have to care about them.

his senility… will be “limiting” in three years.

Imagine thinking republican voters would be swayed by this

Why would they waste their nuclear option just to prevent a situation where they still control 1.5 branches of government, including the most powerful one?

I am really enjoying the chud meltdown like from that /pol/ screenshot thread, but god it would be even sweeter if a certain leftist Jew had won. Who wants to go there and spam pics of Abba Kovner?

Force all Chuds to go harvest tobacco. They should be eager, really, since they would be reclaiming jobs from Latino migrants.
