Literally everyone knows the ONLY reason anyone wants to push for DC statehood today is because it would guarantee more safe D seats. Claiming otherwise is just being dishonest.
There are many, many reasons to support DC statehood and only one reason to oppose it. Are you sure you want to call other people dishonest?
There are many, many reasons to oppose DC statehood in principle lol
All of the "many, many" reasons Democrats have for supporting it now, they also had for supporting it in 2009-11 when they had a trifecta, or in the 1990s, or whenever. This is only the latest episode in the running Democratic gig that is let’s-reshape-institutions-that-make-us-lose
It's cute that you say that. There was a vote in 1993, and every year since then it's been proposed but never voted on. At the time of the 1993 votes, Democrats had held the House for about 40 years and the Senate for the overwhelming majority of that time. And you seem to be conveniently forgetting that the Senate used to actually care about rules, so there was a filibuster option that Democrats no longer need to worry about.
