        No ones calling it a state. You’re calling the island a country it is not a country not any more it is an American territory. Are they taxed without representation? Like Dc? Is dc a country?

          So, not a state, not a territory.

          Does Puerto Rico have elections to form a government?

            Most certainly not a state, and has its own government. It’s a separate country.

            Okay, you’ve shown that the first part of your statement is correct (that NO ONE has contested). Explain how PR is a separate country, as you have asserted. Or you can just say you were wrong. It’s okay.

                  The answer you refuse to express is YES

                  So, not a territory. Not a state.

                  What do you call an area of land with a government? If not Country, what?

                    A territory of the US. You know, the thing it is. I don’t understand why you’re trying to redefine the word country to not admit you’re wrong. It doesn’t even buttress your point, it’s just a weird hill you are dying on for no reason.

                    Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to change my mailing address because apparently I live in the country of the USA, the country of Colorado, and the country of the city I live in. All of which have areas of land with a government.

                    Puerto Rico is a commonwealth, not a country.

                    Every US state is an area of land with a government. Are they countries?

            Bruh I’m not gonna keep going with you. the link talks about Puerto Ricans voting for kamala. You’re talking about people that live on the the island voting. Not the same step up your critical thinking
