Washington DC has a greater population than Vermont and Wyoming.

It is also about 90% Democratic.

What Democrat would be against adding 2 Democratic Senators and multiple Democratic House Members?

Give The State Of Columbia A Voice!

And for giving a Gerrymandered Republican Congress even more power over the citizens that are unfortunate enough to be subject to their whims to begin with.

Cool. Story. Bro.

Washington is big enough to flip the politics in both Maryland and Virginia
if split in two. Conservatives are not eager to have and influx of hundreds
of thousands of mostly black, overwhelmingly Democratic voters.

However, we have a far larger problem. DC has become a center of vast wealth and its institutionalized culture of power far, far, far too permanent. The days when citizens came to serve and went home are in the past. They stay and concentrate right there, a grave threat to our democracy right in its center.

We really must need to fix THAT, and removing money from politics would help enormously.

We also might want a mobile national capital -- one that moves about the country every few years. Let the Andrea Mitchells and Alan Greenspans and other "professional" insiders chase it around and duke it out for supremacy with the local legislators, journalists, and Junior Leaguers of Oklahoma City, Madison, and Sacramento. Or not. Lol.
