[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Republicans support retrocession, which would give DC residents representation. The issue is the number of senators, nothing more. You’ll say DC and Maryland have nothing in common, but that’s true for most states. The urban/rural divide is everywhere and cities also compete for influence within a state. Retrocession would make DC/Maryland the economic powerhouse of the region and reduce Va’s influence. Keeping DC and md separate works in Va’s favor. [/quote] Have you wondered why there is a Virginia and a West Virginia? Or maybe why there are two Dakotas? Or why Wyoming, Idaho and Montana are three different states? The issue is the number of senators. You called it right. How about we consolidate all of the red states into one that equals California and call it a day?[/quote]
