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!

Once again I am going to ask you to invade lib spaces and remind them that the Dems cannot save them. Give marginalised people the tools to protect themselves and their community from harm.

Show them that they do not have to rely on the Democrats, and that they shouldn't because the Dems don't care enough to fight for them. Direct them to organisations that can help them.

Let this be your chance to build a community, there are a lot of vulnerable people feeling lost right now.

EDIT: Only if you can, of course. Please don't burn yourself out or put yourself in harm's way.

There's really no orgs with the resources to do anything in the US. In most cities the left can barely pull off a crappy soup kitchen.

I mean yeah we should try and do something, but I'm not going to lie to people about their prospects. And honestly it may be better for peoples mental health to accept defeat than struggle on in futility, at least then you can matt-grillin
