Wait… there’s a Coffee Party too?
Dinner Topics has mentioned the Tea Party in a few posts over the past year, usually because a candidate was involved in an upcoming election.

The Coffee Party, on the other hand, was started as a Facebook page by an activist (Annabel Park) and took off from there, but still hasn’t garnered enough political appeal to help win any primary elections.
