Partisan politics is the only kind there is, “partisanship” and the differences in policy which underlay the parties are very good reasons not to expand the power of the Democrat party by 2 Sen. and a Rep. I have heard some complain the small states have disproportionate power because their small populations do not merit of themselves even one seat in the House, and of course no state–no matter how large–has more Senators than another. If that is an injustice at all, you would have to explain how it is not retrograde–or sideways at best–to grant DC statehood.
It is an injustice that the citizens of DC have no state government, it will be an increased injustice of another sort if they have their own state.
DC should be grafted back onto Maryland.
To go by who MD has sent to the Senate recently, it won’t hurt the D/R balance anyway. If there is a citi/country imbalance in MD,and that hurts the Republicans, then they should address it.
