Slavery on the ballot in 5 states

This woke nonsense has to stop

Oregon was voted down, too. I read that it had to do with poor and vague wording in the amendments themselves.

I presume the point of this exercise is to prove that some non-zero percentage of voters would like to have slavery back. We'll see how far up the leftist chain of command that messaging successfully climbs. I can see Biden slipping this into a speech. I can see it becoming a data point in an Ezra Klein podcast discussion with another leftist intellectual.

I didn't read them all, but at least a couple of these had to do with using convicts as a labor force without pay.
Is it slavery for California to use prisoners as a labor force without pay?
No
Because they can't afford the $15/hour minimum wage.
So, in this case, slavery is OK.
