I agree but it just so unlikely, I don’t nessisarily think it would be a deal breaker for Maryland. I’ve lived in Maryland and moved to DC this year.
All professionals in DC and Maryland would get new clients and that alone would benefit enough for Maryland to let DC be independent inside its borders plus the extra congress person and ectra EC vote
It’s how at least on the federal level you convince people to unite and get sweeping economic reforms. A party wide policy of “leave it to the states” and the only non economic policy being to implement proportional representation would actually help people while allowing the state level parties to have state specific social issues
