You'd need an Oujia board to talk to the president of Puerto Rico

Vman29397 @vman29397.bsky.social · 56m

its not. read the insular cases. the same supreme court Behind Plessy v Ferguson said Puerto Rico was owned not apart of the US

That's not gonna work. You're underestimating the damage Trump's doing. We're seeing countries literally find alternatives from the us to do business with. The reputation issue is not going to be fixed overnight.

I mean statehood support is collapsing in Puerto Rico at an alarming rate The party of statehood dropped nearly 8 points in voter identification

How about US territories get Self-determination instead of forcing statehood on them

Puerto Rico will never become a state. It's never gonna happen because the statehood party is collapsing And the demographic data shows us that statehood's largest support block are older voters.And the other fact of the matter is the only reason people support statehood is because of misinformation

You mean 43%. If you're not familiar with the concept of free association It essentially means Puerto Rico would become a sovereign nation and enter a treaty with the United States in which the United States would provide defense minor financial assistance and allow ease of travel

Meaning statehood only got 49.1% also you're forgetting the votes for sovereignty and free association which would make Puerto Rico an independent nation but the United States would oversee its defense provide minor financial assistance and would allow ease of travel

If you're citing those sham referendums you have no clue what you're talking about. If your argument is a referendum written by the statehood party overseen by the electoral commission that they control and then certified by the courts they stacked then please be quiet. Also 200k boycotted

Happy Indigenous People’s Day.

As many Americans try to continue to white wash history. There is only ONE truth, and that is White Americans, stole, and ethnic cleansed this land in an attempt at genocidal quelling of the Native population.

Never forget. America IS build on STOLEN LAND!

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day, here's the statue in Puerto Rico depicting the drowning of conquistador Diego Salcedo by the indigenous Taíno people.

According to legend, his death resulted in the outbreak of the Taíno rebellion of 1511 against the Spaniards.

Statehooders love to lie. Which is why they fear the notion of a status assembly where they actually have to tell the truth

So you're gonna let go of one place that was taken by imperialism so that you could replace it with another place that was taken by imperialism. Really dumb logic
