None of them are good that's the problem. Puerto Rico hasn't had good governor in ages

Yes

Jets yes mets no

This is so true

Both matter. Acknowledgement of abuse has to come before one can adress the griveances

Since they're on blue sky you could check metro PR that kind of like the centrist type news. Also

I guess you haven't been to Puerto Rico recently.
December 8, 2025 at 11:54 PM
Of course they are. You can't claim it's not a Colony when you can overrule any decision made by their local governments
December 8, 2025 at 11:53 PM
That's what happens when you let the party of statehood run Puerto Rico.

The difference is that's been acknowledged In American history what the United States has done in Puerto Rico has largely been buried for time. Kids in school learn about the trail of tears nobody learns about the ponce massacre

Doesn't change the facts. It doesn't change the fact that statehooders are mine numbingly incompetent and have no real plans for anything

Rafael Ithier founded Puerto Rico’s most acclaimed orchestra in 1962 and led it for more than 60 years just until his death this weekend.

Hardly anybody in Puerto Rico cared or even knew who Charlie Kirk was until he got killed www.npr.org/2025/12/07/n...
Rafael Ithier, a legend of salsa music, dies at 99

They can't help but show their true colors

And that's the reason why it shouldn't be a state. Hell the only reason you gave puerto rican citizenship was to cause infighting between the independence and autonomy wings of the anti-colonial union party Led by José de Diego and Luis Muñoz Rivera Respectively

Are consistently the states that are the poorest And worst off. The independence camp Has actually spent the time to map out an economic transition plan www.planbindependencia.org/plan-econ%C3...

Yes I am they don't have an economic development plan for Puerto Rico as a state. Did you have to take the time to listen to their talking points it always boils down to just we'll get more federal funding and that's it. And the fact of the matter is the states that rely the highest in fed funding

The Puerto Rico part I'm not going to prop up a movement that is devoid of real policy
December 8, 2025 at 8:45 PM
Then just say respect Puerto Rico's right to self-determination
December 8, 2025 at 8:13 PM
No
December 8, 2025 at 8:07 PM
That's not a reason for puerto rico to be a state
December 8, 2025 at 8:06 PM
There is no reason whatsoever to support statehood for Puerto Rico.
