Come on in and have a drink!
All topics are allowed, but please don't be abusive. We all like to drink and talk in peace.
Let me introduce myself. I am Jackie, a 34 year-old female from Los Angeles. I am a life-long metal-head and into progressive-liberal politics. I have lived in the United States for nearly 20 years and before that, Argentina was my home.
Why is this place a pub? I, like anyone else, enjoy from time to time a little drink. I am a fan of beer (a snob for British imports) and red wine (specifically Francis Ford Coppola's Rosso). Come on over to talk about your favorite drinks and where you do your poison shopping. I will share my latest taste testing (Absinthe last week and it was phenomenal), and perhaps some great tips and places where you can brew your own hooch.
If you don't mind, I will also gush on my favorite things, like Iron Maiden. I am absolutely obsessed with their music. It moves me in a way no other band ever has. I have to confess though, that I am a relatively newish fan (since 2000), before then I didn't think there was anything better live than a good Metallica concert (boy was I wrong!). I have recently attended my 9th Iron Maiden show here in Los Angeles, and I'm still grinning like an idiot.
Also, I mentioned that I am progressively minded in my politics. Having said that, you will not find me gushing over Barack Obama or defending and exalting Hillary Clinton's "experience." I am not exactly happy with my choices on the Democratic side, but... hell, it could be worse! Look at what the poor Republicans have to choose from.
Well, that's enough for a welcome. Enjoy your drink.

Speaking as a cranky old guy, a scarred veteran of the voting wars, I've come to accept that every election is a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils.
In practice, that means choosing the Democrat who's less far away from my politics. In the general election, that means voting for the Democrat.
The people who insist on purity gave us Nixon in 1968, Reagan in 1980, and Bush in 2000. We know how well those choices worked out for us.
