Do you want to give Senate seats to a territory with 10% the population of Wyoming? Feels like it would be easy for monied interests to buy enough votes there to capture all elections.

Severe cognitive deficit. There’s no other explanation to me. That’s like a legit disorder or something.
And the thing is they are not even Q folk or supper fans. Just run of the mill non political, until trump, people. Hopefully they go back to not caring about politics or voting.
you can’t merge usvi and marshalls. or guam. perhaps at large representation.
Nothing invigorates me more than deplorable on deplorable violence.
Yeah if they stick around as voters we’re super fucked. I think dems are gonna go back to being lazy since we won and got rid of Trump. That plus the huge inroads with latinos.
