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!

A little kitty cat called Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
Also, really funny how when some third world country nationalizes their lithium reserves (or even does as much as sway to another side geopolitically, as Ukraine did) the US just coups them and makes sure the correct policy agenda goes through. But when people at home ask for even a mild reform to the most broken, insane healthcare system in the world, liberals come out of the woodworks saying we gotta check what the cuckoo clock says and run a lap around the parliamentarian. Be for real, if Biden or any other ghoul actually wanted to get change done, they would've sent Joe Manchin and Sinema an overhead shot of their bedroom and dig out a million old skeletons from their closets, because that's how power operates. You've deluded yourself into thinking this elaborate trapezoid of checks and balances works in your favor when it's just Calvinball.
