Still doesnt show evidence of it

You mean the sham of a referendum that was literally a yes or no on statehood and in direct violation Of Congress explicitly stating that referendums must have all options

Vman29397 @vman29397.bsky.social · 6h

The thing is the position of the Democratic Party is to allow Puerto Rico the right of self-determination. Which is what the United Nations has confirmed Puerto Rico has the right to since 1970

Are you kidding me independence is more likely. The only party in Puerto Rico right now seeing an uptick in voter support is the independence party.

Saying Puerto Rico should be a state is not democratic.saying puerto rico should have self determination is democratic

Vman29397 @vman29397.bsky.social · 6h

Vman29397 @vman29397.bsky.social · 6h

Should Jets have kicked on 4th-and-8 from plus-44?

Our model thinks clearly yes. Does have to be a caveat in long field goal situations -- coach does have some information specific to range, weather, etc. and that model does not.

But in general, yes.

What the f*** was that Aaron Glenn a child would have known to kick the field goal. Will I ever get to see a competent jets team

Yes the referendum's written by the statehood party overseen by the election committee controlled by the statehood party and verified by the courts stacked with judges from the statehood party I don't see any way that those results shouldn't be trusted

"um um what about self determination, why are you forcing statehood on them"

Puerto Rico has voted in favor of statehood multiple times IIRC, so like, this is the dumbest line of argument imaginable

Vman29397 @vman29397.bsky.social · 13h

Since when is forcing statehood on puerto rico instead of allowing self determination democracy

Except they have never done so.The referendums are shams that even congress has rejected them for their highly partisan nature. Every referendum since the 90s has been overseen by statehooders who tip the scales towards statehood which is why opposition boycotts like the 200k who left it blank in 24

Vman29397 @vman29397.bsky.social · 13h

Statehood is a dying position anyway.

Vman29397 @vman29397.bsky.social · 13h

Bec puerto rico deserves self-determination

Vman29397 @vman29397.bsky.social · 13h
