Obviously I don’t agree that this is meaningless and a waste of time....
We may well not get there this time but the Democratic Party must continue to fight for DC statehood until it is done
It’s actually very important... imagine if the democrats just ignored this issue...then we really would be lost
Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of disenfranchised American citizens in DC.. including many African Americans and black people all over the US know DC doesn’t have voting at the federal level because the Republicans don’t want black people having representation because they will lose those senate seats...think of the message the democrats would be sending black people - the backbone of the party- if they didn’t fight on this
It also sends a message from the Democratic Party and DC to the rest of the country that this is bullshit and wrong... that’s important
At least that’s the way I see it
