>>Beyond reparations, the RAT agenda also includes statehood for DC and Puerto Rico and abolishment of the electoral college. Political consequences that could benefit the RAT party to the extent that the rest of the states would be essentially disenfranchised.<<
There is a problem wuth unequal representation of the citizens in D.C. while they "enjoy" full taxation. I'm also not thrilled with the electorasl coolege although I agree its elimination would favor Dems so its a political non-starter.
One solution to the unequal representation problem would be to give the DC property back to Maryland and the voters could then vote in that state. There are probably other solutions that would not create the conflict of interest that would exist if the citizens of DC were given senators and representatives.
