Personally, and I have not yet been asked, I think you need two sequential plebiscites, because any ballot with 3 or 4 options on it is going to produce a "hung jury" result.
1. Remain in the US or seek independence
2. If remain wins 1, status quo or seek statehood
All of the PR plebiscites have been deeply flawed in at least one way, and we can't cherry-pick one and say "This is what PR wants." But it does underscore the point that it's not at all clear what the preference is.
DC is the test case because it's so obvious people who live there want it; I'd caution everyone in the replies immediately expanding this to include Puerto Rico and other territories that the question of whether statehood is what the residents want should probably be answered first.
They think you're stupid.
Don’t forget that that poll result is misleading, a portion of the 21% who expressed an opinion about him are just guessing and have never actually heard of him.
Hey man, you ever think maybe they just claim they support this because they’re afraid someone’s going to burn their house down or Luigi them
Amazing that anyone’s brain is infantile enough to believe that tech overlords who would burn the world down before they would pay taxes and who don’t even want you to have healthcare or mail delivery really want to see you get a big check every month for nothing.
I want to be clear that the reason I'm walking off stage without rapping is that I can't rap
This got lost in the fog of the opening of the Iran war (or maybe it just isn't interesting!) but with regular "running out of missiles" stories appearing now, consider revisiting this about the cruise missile as the defining weapon of modern war and its conceptual origins in WWII...Japan? Japan.
Not as misleading as that Siberian Orchestra though
Hope it’s still being talked about next week!
Plot twist, Delta should eat shit for reasons unrelated to its pedestrian name too.
Unrelated reminder that no airline will ever have a cooler name; it is literally the "Air Guild." Hansa is a direct reference to the Hanseatic League.
Eat shit, "Delta."
sarah isgur and brett kavanaugh mugging for the camera together
Brett Kavanaugh officiated Sarah Isgur's wedding and is helping her promote her book, which is all about how good and noble the Supreme Court is. There is no reason to take seriously anything this person says about her very powerful, life-tenured friends. Seriously, have some respect for yourself.
Just fyi I will never be shamed into deleting this one, it's brilliant.
Showing up to a rap battle, announcing that my name is "Reverse Uber, because I bring the bars to you" and walking off stage without rapping
The youngest person who could have cast a vote for Ronald Reagan is something like 62 years old right now. I can’t imagine that Vietnam means anything to any portion of the electorate that is still going to be alive in five years.
I have more thoughts for half the price of a can of PBR at your favorite bar. www.patreon.com/posts/mayor-...
In both foreign policy and economic policy, the core belief of Trumpism is that there is some button one can press to instantly and easily solve any problem, and every political leader this country has ever had was simply too cowardly to press it. That’s it.
In which I propose the extremely radical idea that it's actively counterproductive to project every Democrat with a pulse into some higher office when they might actually be best suited to (and extremely useful in!) the job they already have.
I apologize and I will be more circumspect in the future about saying “it happened” on social media given what we’re all waiting for

Better listen to him, he knows what has really worked for Labour!

Folks, it happened
The technology is tailor-made for people who believe their skill is “leadership” and they should simply be in charge of stuff
even though they don’t actually know how to do anything, because Greatness or something.
They have literally invented a thing whose primary purpose for end users seems to be to pretend they are having a conversation.
Unfortunately it has become a precondition to getting a raise, ever, in a lot of fields!
The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I'm pretty sure anyone excited about that has blocked me or I them, probably long ago.
