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!

Or do bookstores only stock right wing books? The most "left" book I can find at this Books A Million is the latest from Bernie Sanders 🙃

Even if they buy AND read all of these, that does not really mean much. These are books meant to be read on the toilet or at an airport, they are all biographies or pophistory/pop-politics. Nothing academic, nothing literary, nothing of weight. Great video skit sorta touching on this with history books specifically
