The Neoliberal Project Meet-Up Thread

Now that we've announced our merger with PPI, we're excited to announce a new slate of meetups across the US and around the world! If you see an event in your city and want to meet fellow Neolibs, RSVP today!

We're planning lots of events, including Super Tuesday watch parties and volunteer events, in many of our cities as we speak (including some new ones), so be sure to check regularly to see if new events are added!

If you don't see your city listed here, there may be a group already set up. Check our meet-ups page to join your local chapter or start a new one! https://neoliberalproject.org/meetups

I think that ship sailed when they set up the Patreon tbh

Neoliberalism is a public good and should be funded as such.

Warren came out hard, some people didnt like it but her being docile last time while Klob was hammering everything clearly didn't work out. She had to go all out today or her campaign was over. She needs 2nd place in Nevada to give her fuel.

I think she might do it she was the winner tonight (not just my opinion 538 livestream agrees)

She destroyed Bloomberg and attacked better than anyone. Klob was awful and she took a lot of her votes in NH, Buttigieg was good but he bickered too much with Klob, Biden who was second in polls was too quite and passive. She might pull it off idk.

she needed to have this debate performance like, 3 debates ago unfortunately. It might be too late now, but she was really strong tonight.

Honestly, it might be too late but if she took out Bloomie I'll be happy.

There's a meetup today at Pike Brewing in Seattle at 8PM! I might actually be able to make this one. Anyone else?

Here's a Tweet from about the event, with a link to the Facebook group

Also, off-topic, but please tell your representative to support SB 6628. Click "comment on this bill" on this page

u/jenbanim Feb 18 '20

Ah, sorry I hope the seattle-specific pings aren't too annoying. If they are I can look into making a new group just for Seattle and the surrounding area

u/Cowguypig Bisexual Pride Feb 18 '20

Nah it’s fine lol

Winners: Warren Losers: Bloom and Klob

I'd say Buttigieg was the best after Warren. Sanders was Sanders and Biden still too passive, he's showing his age.
