Then that's our fault and only We the People can fix it. We exercise our might at the ballot box.
That is the thing, we can fix it but we won't be able to because half the country is brainwashed or just don't care/pay attention. I think that is why they push all this crap that divides people now, so they don't have to work so hard to destroy everything.
Maryland can have them. We don't want DC in Virginia.
Basically think of them like Puerto Rico, U.S.V.I., or Guam, any person born there is a U.S. citizen by birthright, but if I were to move there then I instantly become disenfranchised. Much like taxation without representation, you can't vote in federal elections without an accompanying representative body. Why does one party push so hard for statehood for some or all of these places? They know they'd get millions of citizens to vote for them, two guaranteed senators and one seat in the House. Other side of the aisle doesn't want that so at a stalemate we stand.
As for your proposal of shrinking D.C. and just leaving the National Mall and the Hill as the federally regulated areas, problem is that can't just come from the top down at the federal level. That violates the rights of two states who would have to each unilaterally vote on and approve absorbing their respective sides of the territory. That'll happen when the sun explodes.
Oh right. They're probably blue, right? "More Senators, please!"

I hope on his death bed, he announces he was being satirical and he's secretly been donating to the Republicans his whole life.
I feel like he says and does things that are just too dumbfounded to be real sometimes.

Now why would democrats be worried about something like this?
