Void, we've both been on this forum for years. Before Trump we agreed a lot more. Now we don't. Either deal with my arguments or don't. The silly personal attacks just make you look immature.


i do always laugh when someone pulls the "you post daily about _____" card lol

like, ya, this is pard, we're almost all here daily.

...and all it will take is killing the filibuster. Are you ready for the blowback on that one when the Republicans win the Senate the next time?


If they fixed the various voter suppression tactics currently being used that would be a non issue.

And gave dc and or statehood.

If Democrats try to make DC a state then republicans in tons of blue states could push for similar things. Split California, with the north going conservative, split downstate NY including NYC with upstate going conservative and so on.

Careful what you wish for.

They could try but they'd never be in power to do so if we didn't suppress votes.

they could try but lets not pretend its the same thing. DC already isn't a state, or a part of another state's jurisdiction in the same way that Norcal is part of California state.

DC and Puerto Rico are more analogous here, especially as DC is a swamp and PR is impoverished but also a tax haven for some right winged people.

still i'd say there isn't a good comparison for what DC is.

DC cannot be a state. I suggest we give the land back to Maryland.

Puerto Rico is fine, but they should also give representation to Northern California.

Stop focusing on inconsequential things like optics, tweets, random pics and I have no issue nor reason to talk shit. Plenty of people I disagree with on here that I can talk to and not be a jerk but when you call those things arguments... come on dude.


You're an adult. If you think what I post is silly or inconsequential, don't respond. It's not that hard... I ignore stupid posts from Ghot and others every day here.

You can't change the rules that would obviously favor one side and will probably make the senate be blue for many years then say a similar alteration is not the same.

No DC is not similar to states splitting but they're both similar in the sense that it would upset a long established balance of power.

Personally I think whatever redistricting or splitting that happens needs to happen in an equitable way kind of like bogie suggested. If you want PR to come in which will obviously be a blue stronghold then let southern Oregon+ NCali be a thing.
