I assumed the 6:50 time on your screenshot represented central time. Obviously the countdown clock was wrong if that is true. But if it was 6:50 central time, that means it was 7:50 eastern time - and the countdown clock would be wrong for them too. If the debate starts in one hour for you, would it not start in one hour for everyone? How could it be one hour away for you, but two hours away for someone else? Are we living in some strange time/space continuum? How is it possible you don't understand this? Grumpy much?

How is it possible you don’t understand this?

The post was to note that Hofstra's debate website was giving people NOT in the eastern time zone the wrong time information on the countdown clock. How is it possible that you were confused by this information? Who said it mattered what time zone you were in?

It starts when it starts! why does it matter what time zone you’re in? It starts when it starts!
