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!

Some pretty cool stuff, but the standout was a socialist group handing out flyers. I told my friend they're probably Trots. Passed by them and they tried to get me to sign a petition to get their candidate on the ballot. They open with telling me that they're Trots lol!

That's sounds like so much fun, I wish I could be there. There are no Trots or pride parades in my area. Not even a gay bar.

Am I wrong in saying that trots are at least better than the DSA? If they actually did things (other than sell newspapers, splinter into smaller groups, and criticize AES) I would support them.

Then they'd just be normal Communists...?

At least last year, I remember the only outright political table at our local pride festival being the Log Cabin Republicans.
