    Dude even started trying to explain how the existence of Puerto Rico doesn’t prove that the US is an empire because Puerto Ricans are US citizens. Yeah, citizens who can’t vote in federal elections, have no voting representation in congress, and are subject to the US’ veto powers on their own budgetary decisions because of a financial oversight regime.
