I saw a similar argument online, so I wanted to ask here as well:

Can someone provide a cogent argument against statehood for Puerto Rico and DC statehood that doesn’t involve the demographics of the voters currently being disenfranchised? Every argument from the right that I’ve seen decries it as a power grab from the Left, but doesn’t provide an economic or social reason to object. Is there any actual reason at this point that we should be telling several million American citizens that their voice doesn’t matter?
