My (former) sister-in-law was a DNC organizer extra-ordinaire and when I
was in Berkeley (05, 06) she came out to do a dozen things including
showing up for a local Drinking Liberally meetup.
They happened to pick my favorite "biker bar" in SFo... "Zeitgeist"
which catered equally to gnarly Harley riders and even gnarlier bike
messengers. I'd been there many times so I asked her why they picked
it, and she said it was he "hippest place" for her demographic.
Her demographic turned out to be mostly second-wave yuppies. They looked
*totally * out of place in their Izod shirts and slacks and loafers, but
there were enough of them to make their own bubble and the staff worked
hard to make them comfortable.
I'd love to see a "Gnarly Bikers against Trump" rally.

Aha! Thanks for that reminder. I totally forgot about our local DL group(s).
The local groups were large under BushII ... I bet we'll have trouble finding
venues under the Cheeto Jesus. I'll look more like a liberal with him in the
white house, too. >8^D

I know that not all of you are liberals, and even fewer are willing to admit
it, but I thought you might like to know that this group has been rekindled. A
chance to discuss your feelings about our Contemporary Nero: He who tweets
while Rome Burns. Or was that Caligula? I can never keep them straight.
