What we’re about
Democracy requires an open-minded exchange of ideas. Join us for lively dinner conversations where we discuss political topics from a variety of perspectives. Whether you're looking to hone your debating skills, engage in thoughtful dialogue, or simply enjoy some delicious food with un-like-minded individuals who are open to differing opinions, this group is for you. Let's break the barriers of political polarization while exploring diverse ideologies in a respectful and welcoming environment. Let's discuss how we can change the way we do politics to foster growth and understanding.
Format:
- Meetings will happen at a restaurant (TBD, suggestions welcome)
- There will be 3 parts to the dinner: (a) Introductions and framing the topic; (b) discussions based on the chosen topic; (c) other items such as meeting a local community leader, talking about local issues, sharing local events, etc.
- You're welcome to come advocating for your own position on the chosen topic or play "devil's advocate" to better understand the nuances of your positions
- Hopefully, you will both learn and teach something to your peers through this stimulating dinner.
- Conservatives and liberals are welcome - balanced attendance makes for a more informative discussion.
Rules:
- This is for CIVIL discussions. Hate will not be tolerated. As a general rule: attack the ideas not the people expressing them.
- Bring your adult manners: no interrupting or dominating the conversation, keep your voice at a reasonable level, and tip your waitstaff
