Want to know what Pelosi’s House prioritized today? Washington DC statehood. That was the vote. -Not protecting small businesses from lawsuits -Not getting Americans off unemployment & back to work -Not holding China accountable. Progressive priorities. Not American priorities.

That's not what that word means.
I'm using the word metaphorically bro. I don't think there's an existing word for 'creating new senate seats out of thin air for a zone that's never before had senators'.

The correct term is admission. If you are trying to get at how it shapes representation, it’s malapportionment. Even “metaphorically” gerrymandering implies bias favoring some voters, but even with DC Senators the Senate would still be biased in favor of Republicans.

She’s just working the problem with the tools she has available to her. I guess it’s only fine when McConnell fights dirty?

It’s called admitting a new state to the Union, and it has happened dozens of times.

Aside from the partisan incentives, are you opposed to giving representation to DC residents? Don’t fairness or other standards motivate your position?

There is. It’s literally called statehood. It’s happened about 50 times thus far.
