[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NO! DC residents have no meaningful voting rights. DC born and raised here. I was born disenfranchised. [/quote] You know you can fix this by moving 10 miles or so in any direction, right? It’s not like the rules were changed on you after you settled there.[/quote]

PP literally just said they were born here. Reading comprehension.

But in general, “just move” is also a crappy response to someone pointing out problems. Where does it end? Should everyone with concerns about US politics, on either side, leave the country because there are some things in our system that need fixing?[/quote] Well, multiple Democrat  administrations (Clinton, Obama, Biden) with Democrat
Congresses failed to do anything about this. In fact, they didn’t even try. Why? Because the rest of the country just doesn’t care, and that’s not going to change. So actually, “just move” is the only practical option.

requires 60 votes in the senate unless there is no more filibuster....has nothing to do with wanting to try.[/quote]Whatever, did even get out of the House, when and where? Democrats have never put any serious effort behind this.[/quote]
There was actually a pretty big push for this in 2021. There’s a long thread about those efforts in the local politics section. It was one of the things that was run over by Manchin and Sinema’s refusal to engage with any discussion of modifying the filibuster in the Senate.[/quote]
