    the civil war did happen and the year it did was from a 3rd party being like “yeah the federal gov shouldn’t enforce the fugitive slaves act, but we shouldn’t ban slavery” I don’t think the US is necessarily facing slavery level of direness but we do need to decide whether we’re a modern country with a livable working class or a billionaire owned theocratic hellscape.

        no I dont, but its the issue at the heart of the modern US schizophrenia. It might seem insurmountable but there are only hundreds of billionaires.
