PURPOSE OF GENERAL CHAT

Normally this subreddit is setup to address the political and social issues that divide our nation and dominate our social media feeds. The purpose of this very different thread is to trial a space for community members to talk about more than just our nations politics.

We hope that we can help encourage community participants to find a way past the ideological differences that frequently appear in the comments and share more about the ideological world they experience every week. For many participants, the issues that occur every week are personal, and a general chat is a space for folks to acknowledge how their lived experiences shape their points of view.

Political Discourse

This issue of civics and civil conversation is so critically important at this point in history. A Democracy cannot function, if we cannot talk with one another. And if we can't disagree kindly, with respect for one another's differences and different points of view. We should be able to recognize that regardless of your political alignment, that almost all of us love this country.
