  1. They fear the 2 Senate Seats. And the 700.000 probably majority Democrat-voters which are as you have seen larger than Vermont and Wyoming in numbers.

  2. That would be a form of Gerrymandering. And as long as states exists who have even less inhabitants a ridiculous suggestion. Berlin in Germany is also a capital and a state and is also not very large in size, but has millions of citizens and is even fully sourrounded by another state.

  3. Why? Come on just saying your opinion is boring! Why. And be honest not this fake reason with being the Capital. There IS NO OTHER CAPITAL ON THE WORLD like this. Let me guess: Because Democrats would most likely get 2 more seats right? Or that 700,000 people mostly voting Democrats would suddenly be part of the House?

  4.  @Soma81  Read it. They said the area where the Political Institutions are. Noone says anything about the rest of the city.

  5.  @Soma81  You should read it. They mentioned only the Federal District and Federal Buildings. Not the whole city.

  6. Are there any Non-Corrupt left? There are even some DINOs who deserve the same.

  7. No other capital city on this planet exclude the voters in the same city.

  8. Why not "Columbia"

  9.  @jaloux8583  Unless they find a way to make the Filibuster harder or go away.

  10. The number of people is important, not the size. And with more than 700,000 voters there are even more than in Vermont and Weyoming.

  11. There are other examples for this. Germany is like the US a Federal Republic. And the Capital Berlin has so many inhabitants that it is it's own state.

  12.  @MrRabbit772  So you want to prevent 700,000 tax-paying citizens from having a say on laws? Having their own budget, one that is not controlled by the opposit party? Do you know what the Boston Tea Party was all about? If not please read about it.

  13.  @MrRabbit772  You mean that of those 700,000 people there most are black and even the white tend to vote Democrat? And that Washington D.C. or Columbia or whatever it would be called would also get 2 Senate Seats. I know that! Those people pay taxes, they pay even more taxes than other states. They are with 700,000 people larger than Wyoming or Vermont. No other capital on this planet is excluded from voting. And there are examples on this planet where a "state" is only one city.

  14.  @MrRabbit772  I'd love to. I'd have no issues if all states have roughly the same pop-size. However New York had represenation. Washington D.C. not. And I noticed you ignored the point that I know very well why YOU and the Republicans don't want Washington D.C. as a state.

  15. Future looks promising! I have high hopes for the next generations. Keep voting Democrats! America is about to abandon the 19th and 20th century ... finally. It's already 21 years overdue. [And before you get the wrong impressions by this ... I'm white and I don't care about his skin color only his actions. And I assume he doesn't care about mine too.]
