  • I’m sorry. I can’t imagine how awful and annoying this experience must be.

    Point all those bootlickers who are excited about statehood towards Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans have been consistently screwed over.

    The simple truth (that I’m sure you’re already aware of, but others aren’t) is that the Republican party doesn’t want a change that will make it harder for them to win Congress (also, many of them have nothing but contempt for latinos). And the Democrat party is too timid and disorganized to push through statehood for the likes of Puerto Rico.

    It’s not helped by the fact that there are many ignorant yokels in deep red states who share that same xenophobic view, and their vote has disproportionate power.
