  • It takes a 2/3rds majority of both legislative chambers, and 2/3rds of the states to pass a new amendment. There’s not any question as to why we’re still stuck with that line in an amendment passed in the 1860’s.

    California has never before held a referendum on slavery and was admitted as a state in 1850 as a “Free State” because of a compromise on the national level.

    In 2024, they voted for slavery. They can no longer hide behind the onerous process of editing the 13th amendment. They specifically voted in favor of slavery.

    That’s fucking huge.

    Oh it’s worse than that. California voted to make more homeless people, expand the three strikes system by turning some misdemeanors into felonies, and voted itself a slave state to take advantage of all that new prison population.

    All that’s left is to privatize the pipeline.

    But it’s okay, they removed the defunct ban on same sex marriage so they’re still progressive! Yay!
