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!

The flag doesn’t belong to President Trump. It belongs to us.

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action

And no actual demands listed. Peak lib shit.

Yeah but it's extremely fucking ripe for canvassing something or anything cool. A lot of people out there are correctly pissed off, and are even vaguely aware that the 50501 stuff doesn't take them anywhere.

You walk up: "what are we doing here though? Like I'm just as anti-trump as you are, but are we trying to impeach him again or something? Didn't work the last time, and even if you got him out then it's JD in office (yay?)

What our community needs is [org or PSL or something]. you should sign here and come to our meetings and start working aggressively with us to improve our community. We'll do it right in front of Trump's face! If you think about it, that's an even louder message than this protest!"

Indeed. People keep (rightfully) complaining that there's no organized party to make use of the general agitation that people are experiencing, so this sort of event is the perfect kind of opportunity to get out there and further organize it.
