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.
