She sucks but she's not wrong here actually. A lot of the Alianza rhetoric is that their opponents are MAGA Republicans. They capitalized on the Hinchcliffe scandal to get people to see the pro-statehood party as racist Trump supporters who don't care about being called a floating garbage patch.
I swear I've seen her say that basically the Pro Statehood movement is not going to deliver the Democratic Senators that the Democrats think they would as the Pro Statehood people are basically Republicans
I don't know how local Puerto Rican politics regarding statehood and independence relates to amerikkkan politics but I remember there being some fuckery almost a decade ago where some Peurto Rican republicans joined the local democratic party to sabotage the independence vote or something (may have been democrats joining the republican party, the whole thing was very confusing to me at the time)
Statehood is a non-starter. You'd need 75% of both houses in Congress and 75% of state legislatures to ratify it. I feel like independence is more politically feasible than statehood.
