Schumer extends an olive branch to Republicans

DC, by Constitutional design was never intended to be a state.

It’s the National Capital, for all states, not a state.

PR brings zero to the table, except a way for Democrats to gain votes.

I understand quite well how things work in our country,they are very unfair.Dems will eventually make DC and PR states,making the Senate more fair as it should be.

Also due to gerrymandering,The House is not fair,neither is The EC College.

Technically DC wont be a state,the area outside The Capital area will be.

Most southern red states bring nothing to the table,except a way for republicans to gain votes and leech off the tax dollars of blue states.
 
Let's not forget Donny was trying to make Greenland a state.

#PartyOfUnity

Schumer said, “Well, Rev., we have one goal: big, bold change in America. We would like the Republicans to join us in some of those things at least, and maybe they will. But we are going to get that change no matter what. We cannot — there is such a demand, three huge issues we have to do: climate, huge issue facing the country, racial and economic inequality, which has gotten worse, not better, which demands change and justice in a big, bold way, and improving our democracy. Making D.C. a state, automatic voter registration, getting rid of Citizens United, all the things embodied in H.R. 1, which the House passed and McConnell would block up, but we’re going to fight to pass it in the Senate. That’s why we’ve made it S 1. So, climate, racial inequality, economic inequality, and democracy, improving our democracy, letting people vote much more easily, dealing with D.C. and Puerto Rican statehood, dealing with bad money that flows in. The John Lewis Act, undoing the horrible decisions the court made, which defanged the Voting Rights Act, and that’s why Republicans have gotten away with taking people’s right away to vote for the last four years.”

This is an Olive Branch? What are you smoking?

We all know what "Unity" means from the democrats. It means give us absolute control of get thrown in jail. Hilter sought Unity too.

PR has a republication Governor, so don't assume its an automatic dem seat
 
Tony Stark said:
Relevant because DC and PR statehood is finally a top democrat priority.Its going to happen.When it does Republicans will likely never control The Senate again.

As a bonus it will also be a few more Dem House and EC votes.

Dems should have done this long ago and spared us The McConnell nightmare.

Those Red States have a lot of land mass don't they? Hmm, probably could carve them a bit, so it's more fair ya know.
