Trying to get 2 more senate seats and a handful of electoral votes

It is sort of weird if you live there you get no meaningful representation. But I haven’t seen a serious effort.

Remember the outrage over the fixed primaries for Hill Dog? I agreed with it. Anyone outraged about any current decisions?

I think when they founded DC as the capital, there was an intent to make sure it never became a state.

Yup
And why should any single state have the benefit and burden of the federal government and all that goes with it?

Putting aside the obvious political ramifications ...that DC is very blue....I haven't heard a compelling argument against statehood.

I've generally been against DC statehood... For the ambiguous reason that it would make a specific state in the union also the Capitol.

But I have absolute confidence that the hypocrites claiming Dems only want it to add seats and electoral votes would demand it if DC were red.

I'm not sure of any other national capitals that are so separately handled.

Besides, DC is certainly a city, not a federal 'place'. But the fact that city legislation must be approved by our productive, efficient and respected Congress is nucking futz
