Are You Drinking Liberally?

Check in and let us know which city you drink liberally in. Bremerton, WA here.

What is Drinking Liberally? http://livingliberally.org/drinking/about

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.

And, thanks for posting about this!

Started with the Dean Revolution and Kucinich Supporters, also. Still continuing in many States.

Might be a good opportunity for New Folks to get Involved..again...with the Upcoming Elections for 2016.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
