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've been seeing this totally organic discourse popping up in reddit-logo comments. They found a new silver bullet that allows them to ignore anything being said

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

I like this bypass.

Long: "the donkey-brand faction of the U.S. mono-party"

Medium: "donkey-brained liberals"

Short: "donkeys"

Associated fan/voter base: "donkey fans"

Some of the things that are great about it:

  1. You can just substitute "elephant" for "donkey" to emphasize that literally the only difference is branding.
  2. No need to capitalize it even if you're being grammatically correct, because it's not a proper noun.
  3. They chose their stupid mascot; now they can live with it.

I mean, when the genocide fans are screaming "FOUR MORE YEARS" I feel like we're not very far from the clothes flying off....
