Should DC become a state and get 2 Senators and voting rights for residents?

Maryland isn't breaking apart and there is also no reason for them to be forced to take a portion of D.C. back. Or for that matter force D.C. residents into a state that is not their own. Simply put the citizens most impacted are least likely to be in favor of retrocession. It appears to mainly be 'states rights' Republican's who want to force states to change their boundaries. Ironic.

of course the residents of D.C. deserve statehood and be represented in Congress as equally as any other citizen should have.
if that were the case, they would have never broken off of their states that they were already members of to form DC in the first place. If they want to be treated like a state, GREAt!!, return to the states from which they came.
 
It's weird that lefties claim DC residents deserve to vote...so when you say, OK, give DC back to Maryland and let them vote.

Lefties do not want that.

They want 2 new DEM SENATORS.

It has NOTHING to do with "DISENFRANCHISED" DC residents.

If it is truly about voting rights.......RETURN DC TO MARYLAND.

There are more people living in DC than the three smallest states by population.

Why should Wyoming get two Senators and DC shouldn't?
 
Most were born in DC and lived there their whole life

A person who pays massive federal taxes is not a parasite
Only reason why DC has so much money floating around is because it is parasitic and feeds off the taxes from the rest of the country.

Oh Gawd are you this dense?

Wyoming is a STATE and therefore entitled to senators.
DC is a DISTRICT, not state therefore not entitled to senators. If they want to be treated like a STATE instead of a DISTRICT---then they need to give up the benefits of being a district and rejoin their respective states.

Or they can just get statehood...

That works, too.

No, it doesn't. They were part of other states---they need to return to those states if they want to be a state and if those states want them back (Maryland is unlikely to want them and who could blame them), not be a state of just two counties just so the dems can cheat some more as they desperately seek to jerrymander a whole new state (the tiniest in both size and population) to get two new corrupt senators.

Actually, DC is not the tiniest in population.

It has more people than Vermont or Wyoming.

Puerto Rico has more people than 21 other states...

My thought. Get rid of the senate altogether and just have a proportionally represented House and direct elections of Presidents.... you know, actual representative democracy, what a crazy idea.

They work for We the People running the best Government in the World

If you don’t think we are the best, name the country that is
 
Doesn't matter NO ONE is forcing those people to live in DC, it is NOT a State you want to vote move to a State.
They said the same thing during the Civil Rights movement
Nobody is forcing you to live in Southern States
 
Just give it back to Maryland.

Lefties do not want to do this, because they ARE LIARS when they say they are concerned about disenfranchised DC voters. That would be solved immediately if DC was given BACK to Maryland.

The Democrats want the SENATE SEATS.

Who says the seats will go to the Democrats?

Are you saying Republicans can’t convince residents to vote for them?

Because one is a state and the other isn't, that's the bottom line.
