This group is meant for anyone who enjoys discussing political philosophy, especially the contrast between right-wing and left-wing values, and concepts such as liberty, Americanism, free markets, individualism, happiness, and "clarity over agreement." The meetups will have a somewhat structured agenda but will be fun and interesting. We ask that you have an open mind and be accepting of "idea diversity."
