In this episode, we read the full comment, examine its historical and political claims, and respond directly. The central question remains: if independence, statehood, or free association truly offers the strongest path forward, why fear allowing another democratic alternative to compete? Let every serious option be presented. Let the people listen, compare, and decide. πŸŽ™οΈ Puerto Rico, Open Your Eyes 🌐 Website: https://puertoricoabranlosojos.com/ ▢️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PuertoRicoOpenYourEyes πŸ“° Free Substack: https://substack.com/@puertoricoopenyoureyes πŸ‡΅πŸ‡· The National Puerto Rico & Spain Initiative: https://tnprsi.org/ πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ Proyecto Puerto Rico en EspaΓ±a: https://proyectopuertoricoenespana.com/ You can also support our work through a paid Substack subscription or one-time contribution.
