Or the lib to lib pipeline as it is also known.

Seen so many people here saying they found the original sub by seeing posts on other subs that seemed different to the usual discourse (eg criticising liberals from the left) and that led to them finding cth through post history or whatever.

That's not really gonna happen now and I imagine we'll get banned pretty quick if we start posting chapo.chat in r politics.

I think radicalising libs is one of the strengths of chapo.chat as it has a pretty inclusive and humorous vibe which other left subs dont really have, plus as many people face the choice between trump and biden amongst the chaos of 2020 they are starting to realise how little power and control they have over their own lives.

Not trying to hype up the importance of this place, it's ultimately just a niche corner of extremely online weirdos but it's the best thing I've found out there.

So how we gonna get the libs in? Harry potter reading group? Deep fakes of Elizabeth warren saying chapochat has a plan for that?

      Absolutely, but the first step is the hardest I think. Once you are a bernie fan, and look how things turned for the old sheepdog this last election, you have no choice but to go down the rabbit hole.

        That's why I could never bag on Bernie too hard even after the Biden endorsement. His campaign was far from all his doing, but he was a huge part of it, and that campaign got more people to take that first, hardest step than anything in decades. If you do that much good I'm not going to disown you for picking one bad option from a range of exclusively bad options when you lose.
