In 2024 Puerto Rico held a referendum on precisely this question, and the majority (58%) chose statehood while only 11% chose independence. It’s not a perfect measure (retaining the current status quo wasn’t an option, only 63% of voters turned out) but it shows a pretty clear preference IMO.

What’s nuts to me is that neither major American party has gone for it. The House passed a bill in 2022 which would have admitted PR as a state but it went nowhere - but damn that’s two whole Senate seats that could go to either party if they came out as strongly pro-PR. Same thing for DC.

Guess the box!

Only one box isn’t empty

What you gotta do is carry a small object and hold it in front of you, and then teleport forward and back so that the object goes into and out of the lock, breaking it.

3 for sure. Depending on how teleporting into other objects works, and how fast you can spam it, you could get some serious work done with a power like that.

I genuinely couldn’t even tell you the last time I saw somebody in real life with wired headphones.

You haven’t seen me walking my dog daily then /shrug

If it were Kamala she would be doing exactly what Trump is doing. The Democrats have been thouroughly demonstrated by this point to be fascists, their fascist program just rolls a little bit slower and more competently than the Republican one.

The two-party system is a myth. A sham democracy. More fake that Putin’s election numbers. America is ruled by a single political party which has two factions, and every ounce of energy that is spent trying to prop up one faction or the other is energy wasted.

I was talking about these extremely cringe anti-tankie memes. There’s no equivalent from tankie spaces.

just saying, lemm.ee is federated with .ml and even hexbear and i only see this stuff coming from .world.

Look at pictures of people in their 30s back in the 70s, and compare them to people in their 30s today. It’s a massive difference, I hypothesize that it’s the leaded gasoline and secondhand smoke that makes it although I’m not aware of any science to back that up.

It also wasn’t a peaceful democratic movement. My point is merely that a lot of people who don’t know anything write extremely confidently on this and every other topic related to communist history.
