At the very least, DC should get a rep with full voting rights. I'd also either give them one Senator or have their votes count towards the Senatorial election in either Maryland or Virginia.

Why not make them a state like they actually want? All these "compromise" ideas are insulting to the people of DC.

Yes, thank you. As a former resident, it is an insult (though I don't take it personally from that user).

Sorry bud. I clarified in a post above but I'll say again that I'd really like to see the people of DC have statehood.

...I hate to be that guy, but I unironicaly agree with this statement. The Senate should be proportional to some degree, and Wyoming and Vermont have no business having the same representation in the Senate as states like Texas or California with orders of magnitude more people

I agree, but that's a lot harder to get passed than DC statehood.
