He dropped out? Waaaaaat?!
(Kidding. Kidding.)
Yeah! He had a heart attack and died!
And then Obama’s daughter took his place!
They think we can’t tell, BUT WE CAN TELL!
(This is sarcasm, because SOMEONE will take this seriously.)
The gay frogs jumped off the rainbow chemtrails that shot out of Brandon’s chest after his death.
They came to Karmala Obama with gold, frankincense, and aborted fetuses to deliver the prophecy.
I made sure to do my part. I wrote in Beau Biden!
It’s easy to forget how uninformed a lot of people are
My fellow Americans, please stop being ignorant as fuck?
It’s pretty disappointing.
No lie, a few days ago, one of my coworkers, 22, said she thought George W Bush was the first president when some of us were taking about him.
I overheard someone while I was at a drive-through say that they didn’t know Biden was president. They thought it was still Trump.
It’s not their fault.
We’ve been cutting rich people’s taxes by destroying public education for decades.
I’m actually surprised thousands of my fellow Americans don’t drown staring upward whenever it rains.
We chose die alone aka “I’m a temporarily embarrassed, ruggedly individual millionaire” over live together aka “we live in a society.”
That has consequences we are now feeling at a new level. The Nordic nations understand this and are the happiest peoples on Earth because they get taxed massively and understand it benefits the society they live in without resentment. Their teams are their nations, their societies, not their economic class or political party.
That’s an absolutely foreign and highly contemptable position to most Americans. After all, If everyone gets their basic needs met, how can I have mooooaaaaar than everyone and shove it in their sad poorie faces while they die in the gutter? And what good is wealth without that, amirite?
A nation as wealthy as ours need not have any economic losers dying in the streets and not being fed in school. We insist upon it, because America runs on schaudenfreude.
You want to know how fucked in the head our culture is? Compare the Freedom To Roam laws much of Europe enjoys to our POS country’s castle doctrines. They value the real freedom being part of a society provides, whereas we just want an excuse to shoot each other in the face.
Ugggh, seeing my idiot parents eat the onion on every damn election story not questioning a thing there fed…
[Kentucky accent] no deal
The unfortunate drawback of democracy: these people get the same vote the most well-informed altruistic voters do.
Literally fake news. Apparently there are at least 180 uncritical idiots on lemmy.
sigh
Overstated
TEN WHOLE PEOPLE are curious about Biden on election day???
I understand the graph isn’t labeled but I’m pretty sure that’s a percentage. I.e. 10% of the peak when he actually dropped out was searching it today.
That’s not how Trends works.
Trends looks at searches for a keyword (or topic) compared to all searches performed (in that area) and then the data is normalized.
In short, Trends looks at “is it hot or not” (e.g., popularity of a term, NOT actual search volumes) and 100 is peak hot while 0 is peak cold. So that curve up today means it is starting to get hot when you compare to the rest of the data except that spike which is around when he dropped out. Narrow your view gap from 12 months to past 1 month and you’ll see a much different story.

Right it’s not nearly as popular now as when the story broke (by a lot), but it’s more popular now than it was a month ago. Meh.
For sure. In any case, people are really stupid. 😢
I’m pretty sure comparing this spike to the spike from when he actually did drop out is exactly what they intended to do. They’re showing that even though this spike exists relative to recent weeks, it’s small compared to the number of people who were relatively on the ball.
Behold the undecided voter. These people decide the election if they actually show up to vote.
They must be driving around seeing all these Harris and Trump yard signs being so confused
Maybe they think Harris is running for local/state office. Sheesh.
