After a voter said he found it “astonishing” that Haley hadn’t used the word “slavery” at any point in her answer, she asked, “What do you want me to say about slavery?”

      Is how it works, and how it should work.

      No one is disagreeing with that one piece of the post. You intentionally cut off the second sentence of that post that slavery was legal, and lots of us wanted that to change to make it illegal, and some of us wanted to keep owning other people legal.

      Any reason why you did that?

      Lol no. That definition just leaves corporations everything they need to continue to exploit the fuck out of any and every loophole that exists. When they’re the ones paying billions to decide what is ‘illegal’ the definition ceases to have any value.

      If It not illegal, but it should be, fuck no you shouldn’t be doing it. Get your ‘well tEcHnICaLlY’ bullshit outta here.
