this is the kind of thing that drives me up the wall as a Puerto Rican, because the status question in PR is *complex AF* & isn't simply a question of looking at polling & referenda. for non-Ricans, I'd suggest reading about this before blithely suggesting it's X or Y. a long🧵:

I think it's important to have a lot of grace for folks Online as they grapple with things & as they try to come to terms with how to approach politics in their community. I find this kind of 11-dimensional chess-style parsing annoying AF, but it's someone trying to hang on their priors.
