There are many reasons to vote besides electing officials. You might also, say, still technically have slavery in your state constitution that needs to be abolished.
This is one of those posts that just showed up on my dash for no reason.
One of the tags on it said “yikes colorado” and I just want to emphasize that, in fact, there is also still slavery in the US constitution. And it’s not a “technically” thing either.
From Colorado’s state constitution: “There shall never be in this state either slavery or involuntary
servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted.“
From the US constitution (13th amendment): “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.”
That is, prisoners can be forced to do work. This isn’t a Colorado problem, this is an entire country problem. Colorado, in moving to ban this, is actually being progressive.
i hate how reward systems never work for me like i can’t just say “if i finish this assignment i can have a cookie” bc my brain is like “…..or u could just have one right now” and i can’t argue with that logic
Self-imposed deadlines don’t work either because I know the guy who set them and he’s full of shit
imagine how many trans people could transition and still be alive if cis people didn’t lock away potentially life saving treatment and surgeries behind ridiculous paywalls, systemic transphobia in the form of medical gatekeeping and a culture of transphobia that keeps us under the constant threat of unemployment, homelessness, violence, sexual assault and death lol but no let’s focus on kids on the internet who are exploring their gender identity they’re the real reason why you can’t transition lol u absolute chad
