I’ve received a ton of emails as well as Facebook invites about a debate watch party tonight at Cruze Bar. The party seems to be hosted by a number of persons and organizations, which provide fodder for some commentary. But right now, I want to focus on why it is useful for YOU to go. (and I believe it is)
