unless it goes into some crazy 2nd overtime.

Scheduling debates for Sundays was just bullshit though. I hope it backfires spectacularly on the chosen one.

in the middle of a 4 day weekend

surely will increase viewer ship



so while the exact meme is "mostly false", the idea it presents is "true"

Debate is 6-8PM PST UFC starts at 7PM PST. The under card starts at 5pm.

The game is being played right now.

NFL games are scheduled for 3.5 hours, but they're usually over in about 3 hours.

The game should be over before 8pm EST.

The debate is scheduled for 9pm EST.

The OP claims that the debate begins at the same time as the football game.

It's a lie.

You recommended a lie.

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

On Sun Jan 17, 2016, 02:11 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

So you recommended a lie because you're gonna miss Downtown Abbey?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1020714

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This goes too far calling the op liar several times.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jan 17, 2016, 02:16 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It does not go too far. The OP is a falsehood which is actually a lie. Maybe a little dramatic, but that is what has been done here when anyone misstates things. They call it a lie.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: What a silly alert.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alerter falsely claims the poster calls the OP a liar. The poster did not engage in name calling here. Asking if someone is "recommending a lie" is not the same as calling them a liar. Very dishonest alert. 
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Stop alert stalking alerter,you're not fooling anyone.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

...if we’re relying on votes from people who think watching football is more important than choosing a president, we’ve got bigger problems than the debate schedule.

The game starts at 4:30, hardly prime time, and should be over before the debate begins.

I am not a fan at all of DWS, but let's base our displeasure on what is actually true. That is easy enough, we don't need to make stuff up.

Having a copy of Photoshop doesn't automatically make one a 'truth-teller'

Yes DWS should go but this silly meme just makes the author of it look silly, uninformed. Or worse.
