political clubs
Ideological membership groups
Political clubs are organizations where people with shared political interests meet to discuss issues, support candidates, or advance causes.
They range from local party affiliates to independent groups organized around specific ideologies or demographics: the Young Republicans club, a socialist political club on campus.
Unlike formal party committees, political clubs tend toward grassroots activity and social connection among members.
