So it turns out the commonwealth shit was a lie and we've been a colony so now people want to either become a state or become independent

Or as my dad says those are the only two parties with a real philosophical foundation

Also if you guys didn't know instead of a two party system like the US (Dems and Reps) we have a three party system (PNP: Statehood, PIP: Independence, and PDP: Commonwealth)

So yea

Hope you guys like the little history
