Does this dude even think about the repercussions of the shit he says?!

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 It was repealed through another amendment.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.
  
  How's that working for the bible?
I mean, he's right though? The point of the Constitution (and amending it) is to be able to change it so we can improve how we are governed. It's not inviolate and sacrosanct, it's supposed to be living.
This poster has some gross fascist vibes going.
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.
  
  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.
Fuck me this user just loves posting his boomer memes on here, can we ban him already?
If Biden brought back slavery, he'd win every Republican voter to his side
Huh, seems to be one critter posting all this red pill shit. Thankfully, individual users can be blocked in Voyager/WefWef.
I'm betting this makes OP get all tingly in his special no no place.

Edit: For the record, just in case it wasn't blatantly obvious: I am not a crook!
We get it, you're a smoothbrain.
Typical Conservative removed doesn't even know the definition of amendment.
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.
GTFO
