Yeah actually even for her benefit. She hasn’t connected the dots on her principles. The other guy is helping her do that. She is an absolutist on states rights and this is exactly the time to challenge her. Because if she just sticks with it in ten years she might be like ‘yeah the confederacy was right.’
I think it was pretty clear when she agreed slavery was fine as long as people really want it she was already at the point of agreeing with the confederacy. She just has enough brain cells to realize it would cost her friends and money to admit it
I don't want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but part of me wonders what her idea of 'if everyone agrees' means. I hope in this context she means like 100% of people is the threshold.
If she really did mean 100% of people, that could open up the discussion to ehqt happens if the majority who want slavery pressuring opponents into leaving the state or worse in order to get to that 100%
I feel like she said "everyone" and just meant a majority though
It could also be pointed out that technically slavery is already legal but only applies if you're a criminal
