Where to Watch the Debates, or Democracy Inaction

Three debates remain before November's big election, and while the polls currently skew in favor of the Dems, nothing is for certain in this modern age of perception-shifting SNL skits and maverick Hail Mary political maneuvers.

And because there's nothing quite like reveling in the democratic process with your fellow boozed-up Austinites—whether their affiliations lean blue or red—we're maintaining this list of places where you'll be able to catch the debates in a public setting. If we've missed any (and we're sure we have), let us know in the comments section!
