DC statehood Megathread (pg 33 - Manchin questioning constitutionality)

[VBM]

The Democrats are f**king clowns. I don’t get why this forum defends them so much.

All the winning probably has something to do with it. Y'know, the House; the presidency & the vice presidency; the Senate; the $1.9T stimulus package polling at +40 approval that wouldn't be possible without the Democratic trifecta; the incoming jobs, infrastructure, & climate change package that wouldn't be possible without the Democratic trifecta; etc.

Barely winning the presidency against the worst president in American history and least popular incumbent president in modern American history must have taken a lot of skill. Why are you even bringing up the House? The Democrat’s showing in the House elections was pitiful, and they only managed to barely win the Senate due to Trump’s shenanigans after the election and McConnell blundering the stimulus checks.

The Democrats won’t do nearly as much as you think they will. Just look at how disappointing the $15 minimum wage fight ended up being. They’ll do some virtue signaling here and there, and just hope that branding the GOP as the party of Q will let them win the midterms

Joe Manchin is a worthless piece of sh**t

Watching all the red avatars getting mad that their power grab failed is the perfect indictment of U.S. politics.

A power grab is refusing to a sit a Supreme Court justice for 10 months.

A power grab is actively trying to have electoral college votes thrown out cause you’re mad you lost.

Giving representation to the most taxed 700k residents in the nation is not a power grab just because it happens to benefit the party which you oppose.

I never said it was only Democrats who engaged in power grabs. But this right here certainly is an example of them doing just that.

The "power grab" is Republicans not letting the Americans who live in DC have the same rights as any other American.

What rights are those? Electing senators isn’t a right.

Sometimes I wonder what people who don’t believe in democracy are doing on an elections forum.

Tell me where in the U.S. Constitution does it give all American citizens the unconditional right to elect people to the U.S. Senate.

You’ll be looking for a long time.

It doesn’t need to be written in the Constitution. It’s basic human decency
