imagine if this was the only reason he loses the election. that pr was the decider.
That would be awesome. We should give them statehood in return.
Yeah, but then they'd have to start paying federal income taxes. That's a big part of why their statehood referendums are always so close, it's a legit pros and cons list.
Last time "yes" did win by just a few percentage points though.
The citizens do seem to be split between the choices, and in the end it is and should be up to them. I find it not surprising that the biggest reason for opposition outside PR is because it would change the balance of senators. Which is rich, since Congress as a whole needs a revamp in representation count in the House anyway, but we've held to an outdated number because it's "hard" to change.
I read there's another possible option - go back under Spanish governance. I wonder how much support that even gets, or if Spain would even want it.
There is another option, it's independence. That third camp is not as popular but it's full of the most romantic of the boriquas
Sounds like a Brexit plan

It would be a fitting bout of karma after he didn't give two shits about the response to Hurricane Maria.
Imagine being the most hated comic ever because you’re racist but also all the racists hate you.
Someone with talent would probably be able to pivot that into some unironic success. Shame about this guy lmao
I think it's weird that most of his other base are basically cucks in this regard. "I don't care about you, I need your votes" and they eat it right up, can't get enought of the alienation. But he's picked up some bad habits due to it
But he's picked up some bad habits due to it
I think you may have too
I forgot I can't use words they use in proper context. They're cucks. They're weak, sycophantic losers that fetishize their own disparagement. Boo hoo. Go read a book, preferably a thesaurus
This would be incredible lol
I’m fine with that.
