Just because the second Democratic primary debate isn’t in Miami doesn’t mean that Miami isn’t into the debate. In fact, there are almost as many watch parties to choose from as there are candidates.

So get together with friends and like-minded voters to watch Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders finally get into it on Day 1 Tuesday night, or hear what Vice President Joe Biden has rehearsed for Sens. Kamala Harris or Cory Booker on Day 2 Wednesday night.

For Tuesday, Day 1:

• Pinecrest Councilwoman Anna Hockhammer (right), who is running for Florida Senate in District 39 to replace the termed out Anitere Flores, and State Rep. candidate Javier Estevez, who lost last year to Ana Maria Rodriguez but is registered to run again in 2020, have said they would be at Vela Mayor Tapas & Bar, 10648 Foutainebleau Blvd., from 6:30 p.m., at the event hosted by the Hispanic Democratic Caucus.
• In South Dade, the Greater Homestead Dems, the Ron Brown Dems Caucus and Organizing Corps 2020 is hosting a gathering at Sak Pase Restaurant, 27156 S. Dixie Hwy., beginning at 7:30 p.m.
• The Miami Beach Democratic Club is hosting one at Barceloneta, 1400 20th St., Miami Beach, starting at 8 p.m.
• The Miami Gardens Club is hosting one at the Stadium Hotel, 21485 NW 27th Ave., also at 8 p.m.
• The party starts earlier in Downtown Miami as Miami for Warren folks get together at 7 p.m. to talk strategy before the big show. That’ at The Bar, 1306 N Miami Ave.
• Not to be outdone, the Miami for Bernie people will meet at 7 p.m. at Cafe Creme, 750 NW 125th St.
• Trying to outdo them, the Miami For Warren group will also host a Kendall watch party at Sports Grill, 9090 SW 87th Ave.

Some of the same places and some new ones host parties on Day 2:

• A “Ridin’ with Biden” watch party hosted by Joe Biden supporters starts at 7 p.m. at Cadillac Ranch in Kendall, 11735 Sherri Lane
• Kamala Harris supporters will meet at 7:30 p.m. at 77 Sports Bar, 180 Giralda Ave., in Coral Gables, hosted by Women Who Have Something to Say.
• Not to be outdone by actual, viable candidates like Biden and Harris, Hawaiian Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (photo, right) has supporters meeting in downtown Miami at Burger & Beer Joint, 900 South Miami Ave., starting at 7:30 p.m.
• The Miami Beach Democratic Club meets at 8 p.m. at Barceloneta again.
• The Democratic Black Caucus meets at 7 p.m. at Miriam’s Grill in Miami Gardens, 2190 NW 183rd St.
• Nearby, the Miami Garden Democratic Club is hosting at Stadium Hotel again, 21485 NW 27th Ave.
• The Kendall Democrats will meet at 8 p.m. at Sports Grill, 9090 SW 97th Ave.
• The Puerto Rican Democratic Caucus, likely feeling more powerful than ever, will meet starting at 6:30 p.m. at Isla del Encanto 2, 11230 SW 137th Ave. in The Crossings.
• And in South Dade, the Dedicated Dems of Florida City are hosting a party at The Capri, 935 North Krome Ave.

Ladra probably missed a couple and kudos to the Miami-Dade Democratic Party for having gathered all of these together (read: planned them.
