DC statehood Megathread (pg 33 - Manchin questioning constitutionality)

[pppolitics]

Democrats should introduce Dakota Reunion act.

What happened to your one year self-imposed ban?

You aren't supposed to return until after January 5, 2022.

I am saying it right now: If either Ossoff or Warnock wins, I'll leave the forum for 1 solid year.

Or because this person doesn't want Democrats to gain extra pwoer?

Haven't you watched Burning Mississippi?

...whites who help darkies are just as hated as darkies themselves
