minus-squarestinerman@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·12 days agoIt is a very complicated question. Many Puerto Ricans do not wish for PR to be a state. This is also true of other territories. For DC the reason it is not a state is because it would guarantee 2 Democratic senators and a Democratic representative. Which is a terrible reason.
