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 It was repealed through another amendment.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.

      Its dangerous to change the constitution to much because it leads to a situation where nobody believes in the document anymore

        So 27’s the magical limit? You think the people who were around when the 14th amendment was added didn’t spew the same bullshit?

        Rules always need to be updated or else we’d still be adhering to the fucking middle ages and still have slavery and kings.

          So when the republicans are in control and demanding the Constitution be changed to protect the sanctity of marriage and ban abortion to protect the life of children and stop child abuse by baning gender affirming care you would be totally on board with that because rules need to be updated or else we would still be in the middle ages and still have kings and slavery

    I mean, he’s right thought? The point of the Constitution is to be able to change so we can improve how we are governed. It’s not inviolate and sacrosanct, it’s supposed to be living.

    Also slavery is on the table. It just has to be as punishment for a crime.

      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.

          Except then I’m not paying taxes and probably living on govt owned land which is illegal.

          You can’t own property you rent it from the govt. You can only grow your own food in certain designated areas. You can’t hunt on most govt property. You can’t cut random trees.

          If I did as you said and lived in the woods I’d be a felon.

          If you’re not making the govt money by paying taxes you’re imprisoned.

              Except that not only is leaving extremely expensive I have to prove to the other country I’m worth having as a citizen or else it’s called illegal immigration which, again, is illegal.

          Disregard original comment, they just switched from politics to posting transphobic hate speech. Report sent, ban away.

          –original–

          This. Is. Literally. A. Shitpost. Sub.

          F*ck this guy’s memes and political opinion, but they’re not breaking any rules (yet)… Until they start posting actual hatespeech we unfortunately just gotta block them or collectively laugh at them.

        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.

    Slavery was never off the table. It just has extra steps now. Ya’ may want to actually read the documents prior to commenting upon them.
