This is random, but it is legitimately absurd that residents of Washington DC have *no* voting representation in Congress. I feel like we don’t talk about that enough.
It’s ridiculous that there are over half a million people who live within miles of the Capitol whose voices aren’t represented by any congressperson or senator. People in DC have been fighting for this for years.https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/11/09/501412360/d-c-votes-overwhelmingly-to-become-51st-state …
if DC was made up mainly of Republicans, how quickly do you think the GOP would make sure this was changed?
In a heartbeat, says this DC-based Democrat.
It's also one of the clearest examples of "state's rights" republicans as they veto voter approved legislation so they can pander to their base. It's true tyranny.
Yes, to all of you.
More residents than Wyoming or Vermont, which each have a representative and two senators.
Take it up with Puerto Rico, which has more people than 1/3 of this nation's states.
At least D.C. can vote for the president.
If they won't give us a vote, we should at least get some kind of federal tax exemption.
Many of us think the problem with making dc free of federal taxes is it would trigger even more rapid gentrification as people rushed to live in a tax haven and soon only the richest of the rich would live here.
