The exact opposite is true.
You're brainwashed.

For the vast majority of American history, huge swaths of the populace were eliminated from the political process. That is objective reality.

Okay, you've now changed your statement to one that is mostly accurate. Congratulations canuck.

Making Puerto Rico a state is in the Republican Party platform.

Which they're hedging on. Democrats see it as a way to add two more Democrat senators and the party that makes it happen will most likely get two from their party.

You are trying to get off into some weird discussion that doesn’t interest me. My point is that for the majority of American history huge swaths of the population were kept from participating in the political process that governed their lives. It’s bad in a representative government when huge swaths of the populace have no say over the direction of their nation.

 

[It will be fine]

Why do Republicans believe they couldn’t compete in Puerto Rico?

The question isn't what happened in the past, which you want to use like a club to beat us with, it's if those past grievances have been and are continuing to be addressed? You won't let the past go be a it's too good a political weapon to get what you want.

There are a lot of poor people there who desire that the government pay for all their needs?

Not getting into a discussion, was just a statement of fact.

I'm all in for only property owners voting myself, gotta have some skin in the game.

Actually a lot of Puerto Ricans are fairly conservative but most like the Democrat handout for your vote model.

They have a vote, it would be with their feet however.

Republican elected officials are very radical. the whole party led by trump is openly trying to steal an election

trying to restore a stolen election. No one believes bumble brain got 80 million votes . You guys got carried away when you cooked the books.

I don’t think it would be an easy 2 democratic votes. Republican opposition to their representation might push it that way though.

It's 2021. Progress has been made. What huge swaths of the populace still have no say over the direction of their nation?
