Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

In all honesty, probably not nearly as much as you think. Democrats aren't exactly making any effort to pretend to be against genocide or neocolonialism. They make a tiny bit of lip service towards social progressivism, and considering that Republicans are explicitly pro-trans-genocide, that bar is so low it's currently sitting in hell.
It's all just theatre anyway. Policy doesn't matter anymore, both parties are subservient to venture capitalism, just donning different aesthetics to appeal to different groups. Like the GOP will don a white nationalist aesthetic, but they love immigrants as a source of exploitable labor. The DNC will adopt a pro-minority aesthetic, but they love sending rainbow painted bombs to kill brown kids overseas.
Politics is just play, Capital is power.
