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!

It feels as if the deluge of bullshit we're subjected to has filled our orifices so much that as a society, we can't tell what's what anymore.
During the 2024 US election cycle, the "left" (fucking Christ, that hurts to type) candidate had literally the same campaign platform that the candidate on the right (of the other candidate) had, and the difference they decided to capitalize on was that she'd do it better than he would. No difference in outcome, she just said he'd fuck it up somehow, and she was more capable.
Now I have relatives that think they're different for wanting her to run in 2028, and the only response I can think of is "Why, so you can watch her lose again?"
It's like they ignore every word that comes out of her mouth and then wonder why things never get better. I'm an asshole for voting for "throwing my vote away" on a socialist, because voting is what matters so goddamn much.
