@aetios to not confuse it with the state
@grillchen no one does this with new york
@aetios maybe bc new york city is in new york
@aetios as in confusion doesnt matter as much
@grillchen isn't Washington in Washington
@aetios nope, dc is a special place not in a state, afaik they can also not vote on the president.
washington state is on the other side of the country. far west i think

@grillchen @aetios people bitch about not being able to vote all the time but it's in the constitution. on the other hand, DC is way bigger than the constitution allows, so it's breaking the rules already, so why not a few more
@grillchen @aetios it still makes a lot of sense, just not the entire thing. however, if we put it up for a constitutional convention, it definitely would get ruined by idiots running everything today so we're better off with a 1700s document

@grillchen @aetios if you asked me, make DC a very small jurisdiction again and make most of sprawling DC into just a city in Virginia.
