[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wyoming, who are constantly cited as the reason why DC needs statehood, has a state senate with 30 members and 60 members in the house.

Imagine how ungovernable DC would be if the city council were expanded to 90! [/quote]
New Hampshire’s population is just about double DC’s and has 400 Representatives and 24 Senators. Is it also “ungovernable?”[/quote]

When we are talking about the future State of Washington Douglass Commonwealth, let’s refer to it as that, and not as “DC”

Thanks![/quote]
Honestly, whoever came up with that dumb name lost all momentum for DC statehood. [/quote]

“DC” is the past

State of Washington, Douglass Commonwealth is the future :thumbup: [/quote]

Just stop.

+1 to the PP who called it a dumb name. Using “state” and “commonwealth” together is unnecessarily duplicative and sounds moronic.[/quote]
Why are you mad at the PP? They are only using the name formally adopted by the council. They are the ones that did it because they want to retain the name “Washington, DC” and continue to use the “DC” abbreviation.

So they call it the “State of Washington” and say that DC stands for “Douglass Commonwealth”. That’s the official stance of the council. Go argue with them about how stupid it is.

Terrible name. But not surprising, just look at the city council.[/quote]
