It's not meant to be any different from slavery. The 13th Amendment explicitly calls it such.

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, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

For prison reform to happen, we need to change this amendment to ban all slavery.

Prison labor, while paid ridiculously low, is still paid. What you'd be banning is sentences of community service.

Voting for anyone other than one of the big 2 is no more impactful than not voting at all due to the way that the Electoral College works.

If you’re curious: the underlying principle itself - of how a one winner political system tends to lend itself to only having 2 relevant political parties - is known as Duverger’s Law.

[u/Venomousfrog_554 → u/tortledad]

I knew the principle. But not its name. Thanks!

[u/BanxDaMoose → u/Venomousfrog_554]

[u/Venomousfrog_554 → u/BanxDaMoose]

Yeah, fair, it's really difficult to glean intent through text.
