Puerto Rico does NOT want to become a state......only the Dems want it to become one.

Well, whether they want statehood or not is what the referendum is going to reveal.  It's not as if the Democratic Party is somehow pushing to force it to become a state.

There is where we disagree, friend.  It will add to their side of the aisle.

Yes, and I agree they'd love to see it happen - but again, there's no evidence I've seen to indicate they're actually doing anything physical to make it happen.  I see nothing wrong with simply hoping it happens.

Well, no, not physical, but they're applying as much political heat as they can and hoping, but they (the Dems) want it far more than the Puerto Ricans do.

Is it or is it not part of the Democratic party platform, Minion?

They don't call referenda in Puerto Rico. It's also in the US Republican party platform, of course.
