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!

Democrats clutching pearls instead of fighting fascism is going to get fascism faster, and it will be all the fault of leftists somehow

I think the term originally came from a Republican-funded focus group that found that audiences respond more negatively to "democrat party" than "democratic party." I avoid using it myself because it comes off as in-group signaling for chuds.
