I never could figure out why there's never been a consistent Disco political skypechat (or, at least one that has been able to appear on my radar)
Tell y'all what: post or just PM me for an invite to Dr. Morbid Zens' DGC Political Chatbox.
I just made the thing & it'll probably take a day or two to fill it to the point of self-sufficiency, but at the very least, it will give the people who are actually interested in talking politics a vent that Disco understandably disallows.
