I don’t think Congressional leadership has really internalized that if they don’t admit DC and PR, they’ll lose the Senate until at least 2030

And if they don’t do a strong redistricting bill they’ll lose the House until the next Republican president’s first midterm

Obviously you can’t message the bills that way but I see little indication that, in private, ppl in the admin and Congressional leadership understand how fucked they are

The point about PR not being solid blue is well taken. But I don’t think holding a binding statehood referendum and implementing residents’ choice is at all “neocolonial” https://mobile.twitter.com/AOC/status/1390006014443933696

The claim that a constitutional convention would better reflect the will of the people than a plebiscite doesn’t really make sense to me. https://mobile.twitter.com/AOC/status/1390017311466311682
