Surely this kind of garbage and disrespect will bring out overwhelming votes for DC Statehood.
To: yesthatjallen
Are Democrats trying to lose the 2020 elections? Remember there’s not only the presidential election but numerous Congressional and other local elections.
Are they intentionally trying to create the impression that the Democratic party is full of politically correct blowhards?

I have a suggestion - that DC revert to Maryland except for the federal area. That way, they get their Senate representation (they will always be Democrats anyway) and with the exception of the north, eastern shore, far west and south of Maryland, they join a truly crappy state where they can do what they want.

Biden, Pelosi, Harris, Schumer et al should be asked their opinion about this now for the record.

They should allow DC residents to vote in neighboring states based on what area of DC they live in - i statehood period. Then they can shut up.

If they want to go back and add “context” to our founders then they have to add context to Kamala and add that she’s the descendant of a slave owner - and lets re-contextualize Obama to note that his ancestors sold their countrymen into slavery.

Proper response would be to:
- Repeal DC's home rule status.
- Carve out a National Historical Park to protect these monuments, Congressional buildings, the White House and other museums around the national mall.
- Even throw up a perimeter fence and charge admission to enter as we do for other national parks.
- Accelerate the process to relocate cabinet departments to flyover country.
- Retrocede the rest of the District to Maryland as was done with the Virginia portion.
- Repeal the 23rd Amendment.

I think that the counties in Maryland and Virginia that border DC should
be combined with DC to become a new state.
Virginia and Maryland would probably go Republican after losing
Prince Georges, Montgomery, Loudon, and Fairfax counties.
My view for what its worth.
To: yesthatjallen
If DC becomes a state, all the national monuments will eventually come down.

The monuments are federal property. The honorable Ms Bowser can pound sand.

Surely this kind of garbage and disrespect will bring out overwhelming votes to revoke DC’s Home Rule.

Let’s put Obama on Mt. Rushmore, and leave him on top of George Washington’s head.

This is getting absurd. Whether the Founding Fathers owned slaves is beside the point of them developing the greatest society/nation in history. Unfortunately at the time, slavery was an accepted practice throughout the world, and still is in some 3rd world countries.
Many statues and icons should remain as a reminder of our past national injustice and how we have led the world in change. The BLM,Inc and Antifa types are acting like the Taliban by erasing history.
GUESS WHAT NATION ENDED SLAVERY FIRST? You have 3 guesses, but you'll only need one.
