Where Can Bernie Supporters Watch The Dem Debate?

The American public has been inundated with opportunities to see the presidential candidates from both sides of the aisle battle it out debate-style for months. When a debate pops up pretty unexpectedly, though, gearing up for a night of Bernie side-eyes or Hillary's Star Wars references can actually be quite fun. So where can Bernie supporters watch the last-minute Democratic debate happening Thursday in New Hampshire? After all, Bernie fans wouldn't let a shorter-than-usual planning period get in the way of throwing a debate shindig.

Both Clinton and Sanders have been busy these last few days. Monday night saw an Iowa caucus too close to call while Wednesday evening brought a town hall and the first event sans Martin O'Malley. Americans haven't exactly been lacking in quality time with their Democratic presidential hopefuls, at least through the television screen. But Bernie lovers, being loyal as they are, never tire of seeing their favorite candidate show off his fiery personality.

Here are eight events happening in cities all over the country dedicated solely to cheering on Bernie during his third major televised event in one week. If you spot a debate-watching bash in your area, be as loyal as the rest of 'em and get your Bernie 2016 Tee ready.

Mount Vernon, Washington

The Mount Vernon watch party venue is the Skagit County Democratic Office, and the shindig is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m.

Watching Bernie dominate on the TV screen from the banquet room at none other than Rusty's Pizza Parlor sounds pretty much like an ideal evening. Come for the Bern, stay for the pizza.

Keep in mind that there are loads of phone bank events and organizing rallies scheduled for Thursday in just about every city across the country, and these events will likely get some debate-watching onto the itineraries for the evenings.
