Chelsea Clinton on Tuesday said when it comes to bigotry there's "no compromise" on which side you should stand on.
"There's no compromise with bigotry. The 14th Amendment repealed the abomination of the Constitution's '3/5ths compromise.'" Clinton tweeted, referencing the founding fathers' agreement to count the population of slaves as three-fifths in total when calculating a states' number of representatives.
Clinton also tweeted a quote by Jewish writer, activist and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, reading: "We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

So by the Left’s logic, she is taking the side of the Alt-Left and everything they represent, no?
She’s actually saying you can’t be neutral, so she’s taking the side of the Commies, amiright?

To: simpson96
Of course, she completely misses the fact that the three fifths compromise actually was a large step toward diminishing the political power of slave states, setting the table for the eventual freeing of the slaves.
But what’s a little rewritten history amongst political rhetoric?

Idiot. The 3/5 compromise was to keep slave states from having too much power.

Democrats always grant themselves immediate forgiveness because they know
that they mean well and are better people than the Deplorables and Bitter Clingers.

“”We must always take sides.””
If she is referring to Charlettsville, Trump did take sides. He took the side of the American people condemning the violence that came from both the alt left and alt right.
What’s her point?
