The statehood bill calls it the "state of Washington, Douglass Commonwealth" and it's so fuckin dumb.
It should just be Douglass Commonwealth. The capital/only/coterminous city could still be called Washington, making the "City, State Abbr" form come out to Washington, DC.
And since we don't refer to states by their capital, we'd called it DC 90% of the time.
Edit: also "state of" and "Commonwealth" shouldn't go together. It's one or the other.
What statehood bill are you talking about? D.C. is for District of Columbia. Or is this bill an attempt to make it a state and rename it Douglas Commonwealth after Frederick Douglass?
And yeah, it's renaming it after Frederick Douglass because even libs can't deny Columbus was a horrible human being. I think Douglass Commonwealth is about the best option if you want to keep the DC abbreviation that it's widely known as.

Huh. That’s actually a really great idea.
