D.C. and Puerto Rico Compared
Added 2022-08-01 16:14:22 +0000 UTCThis was a collaboration with my friend Will from the channel Exploring History. He also wrote much of the script for the video. Not only that, a Patreon supporter, Adam Christians, provided some of the animations for this one. All this wonderful teamwork led to a video I am quite proud of, and hopefully one or both of these are states in the near future.
Also, I have decided to compare the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan. :)
Thank you for your continued support.

**(Several states of that size)** than DC (two senators and 1 house rep) the very place in which the federal government conducts business in.

2022-08-04 02:54:54 +0000 UTCYeah, ironically if both Puerto Rico and DC were granted statehood, Puerto Rico would have more political influence given their size (2 senators and probably 6 house reps because it’s comparable to segaal

2022-08-04 02:42:07 +0000 UTCPuerto Rico would almost certainly have to be brought in with DC to attempt to balance it out politically

2022-08-04 01:21:46 +0000 UTCI hope one day both of these places achieve statehood. DC statehood has a stronger case for statehood than Puerto Rico given the tax situation in my opinion. it’s a crime that they have no voting representative in congress. Although, given the ever increasing political polarization in the US,I don’t know if this will happen anytime soon.

Mr. Beat
2022-08-01 22:11:30 +0000 UTCAwesome as always. I even have a couple more ideas that involve territories; 1) Guam and Northern Mariana Islands Compared, and maybe 2) U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands Compared.
