Anyone down to Drink Liberally?
A new friend brought my attention to the group Drinking Liberally. From their website:
“An informal, inclusive progressive social group. Raise your spirits
while you raise your glass, and share ideas while you share a pitcher.
Drinking Liberally gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place
to talk politics. You don’t need to be a policy expert and this isn’t a
book club - just come and learn from peers, trade jokes, vent
frustration and hang out in an environment where it’s not taboo to talk
politics.
Bars are democratic spaces - you talk to strangers, you share booths,
you feel the bond of common ground. Bring democratic discourse to your
local democratic space - build democracy one drink at a time.
While drinking liberally, always remember to drink responsibly, and make
liberal use of designated drivers. Drinking and driving is reckless and
irresponsible, like a neocon war or corporatist tax cut. Liberals, don’t
do it.”
They have groups throughout Washington, including my usual haunts, Seattle and Olympia.
Anyone down?
