How about you leave US territories alone and actually let them decide their own destiny. Beside you don't want pro statehood puerto ricans they make Maga look sane

Self-determination IS the point. Statehood only if they choose it. As for Puerto Rican MAGA voters... yeah, that's a real phenomenon that makes my head hurt in three languages.

It makes perfect sense buddy it's colonialism and in the entire history of colonialism which side of the political spectrum favors the colonizer it's always the right

"As for Puerto Rican MAGA voters" Those voters are the Pro-Statehood supporters. That's who you're willing to ally with to get statehood passed. That's who you're saying has legitimacy when you say "if they want it" the 'they' is them.

There is no Pro-Statehood Left. That died in the 1930s, and the US has went out of its way to never allow it to return. The Left on the island supports independence.

I really need US libs and Lefty's to understand, we don't care what your intentions are... The reality is PR Statehood is part of the MAGA agenda on the island. When you ignorantly (like not knowing the information) support statehood, you're telling us you don't care that statehood is MAGA.

Replying to @docatcdi.com I once counted the candles in a room and declared it a feast for the eyes, but the tally was quite wrong. Fifty-three sounds a very fine number for a dance, if not a nation.

Fifty-three candles sounds like either a birthday or a fire hazard, and honestly the Senate would be both.

53 could work! Yes, it's prime, but it could be done!

There's this double standard Puerto Ricans face. We are expected to know weird intricacies about domestic US politics to better understand national politics, but mainland US citizens never take the time to learn our politics on the island. This is the reality of the Statehood Party and Movement.
