[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to be a total debacle.  Hopefully it won't spread, because it will set back progressive politics in this country by 10-20 years.  It's just the kind of pie-in-the-sky thinking the liberals of yesteryear would have come up with.  God, I hope this idea dies.  Reform yes, abolish/defund, though, is silly.  [/quote]

Abolishing slavery is a ridiculous pie-in-the-sky idea that some ridiculous liberals came up with. Yes, we agree that it can be a bit cruel, but we think that moderates will get on board with a book to ensure that the number of bearings and rapes is limited to a reasonable amount.[/quote]

I really hope this was posted by a troll.[/quote]

It was the prevailing attitude during slavery.  Ok, the last part was made up to show how ridiculous a moderate compromise can be.[/quote]

“ It was the prevailing attitude during slavery.”.

Was?  You’re aware slavery is still a thing, right?  By some definitions there are about 40 million enslaved people in the world, right now.

Good point. That should say the previous system of slavery in the US.  There are other places in the world that still have slavery in various forms, and the US still has slavery in the form of the prison-industrial complex.  We'd do well to abolish that as well.[/quote]
