For the record, just in case it wasn’t blatantly obvious: I am AGAINST slavery

    He’s not wrong. Look at the amendment that banned alcohol. It was repealed through another amendment.

    The Constitution is meant to be updated and changed with modern times. What he’s meaning to say is that despite Republicans (who don’t even understand the fucking document) believing the Constitution is set in stone, it’s actually meant to be changed regularly.

      It’s not even that anymore.

      I’m personally a slave. I have the choice between working or ending up homeless and starving. If I can’t work I’m told to go fuck myself and die.

      The only difference today is I don’t get whipped.

        No like…it’s literally in the Constitution.

        Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

              Where in the Constitution does it say wage slavery is illegal?

              I’m not physically forced to work but if I stop making money for even a short period of time I’m at risk of losing everything. The modern age of America is wage slavery where we’re forced to work ridiculous hours just to be able to afford to barely survive. If that’s not modern slavery idk wtf is

                How about being imprisoned for a bullshit crime where you can be forced to work without pay as outlined in the 13th amendment?

                I’m not saying your life is peachy, just making the point that slavery as it existed 150 years ago hasn’t fully gone away.

                  Yes I’m essentially a house slave. I don’t get beat because that would look bad. I just get the threat of starvation or imprisonment.

        Lmfao how 12 years old do you have to be to actually think this argument holds water in 2023. You’re about decade and a half late with that shit. Nobody likes you or your clown world view.

        Liberals have been against slavery, conservatives have been for it. Republicans and Democrats, those are just labels. Nixon and Reagan cemented the Republican Party as the home for conservatives a while ago, it’s time to get with the times and realize that the Klan now votes for the Republicans, not the Democrats, and that there’s a reason for that.
