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!

I’ll be the odd voice and say that unless your relative is a relative position of power, you shouldn’t give a fuck. Example: My parents voted for Donald Trump 3 times, they used to talk about him all the time. They think he’ll fix the country (and change Venezuela); he hasn’t fix shit, and now they don’t speak about him much. I think the material conditions are punishment enough, and 2 boomers in the suburbs of a red state voting differently wouldn’t have changed much.
Now, should you interact or hangout with these people? I don’t talk to my parents, even though I wish I had a better relationship with them. Not talking to them saves me from psychic damage.
