Yeah, I’ve seen people try to say this was because the US is just to racist and misogynist to elect a black woman… and maybe we are, but I don’t think we got the chance to actually learn that. If there was a campaign, most people never saw it. I’m a dirty pathetic politics watcher, and all I saw was “We’re not gonna do anything different from what we’re already doing” A lot of people I talked to in real life weren’t aware this was an election year, and they definitely weren’t aware Biden wasn’t running again.
weren’t aware this was an election year
woah
to qualify that, I don’t live in a swing state, so it’s not like either side is jumping to spend time and money here… but still
You’d think people at least would know the presidential years (since they start a century and/or have a February 29)
Weird cause I got spammed and called and people knocking on my door like crazy and I’m in a safe blue state.
Seems like they just squandered their resources
oh, yeah, I forgot I’ve been ignoring text messages this whole time
what do you mean maybe we are? we are absolutely living in a demon cracker nation make no mistake about it
Really smart to not have a primary. Definitely got everyone on the same page and reduced confusion!
this google search trends stuff is the laziest commentary ever. It’s tea leaf reading level political analysis. Google Trends is not a reliable source of information.
No but it is funny
for a while until you’ve seen the 20th one on the same day with equally boring search queries.
back when Alta vista was the best search engine, it had this cool/funny feature where you could look at a random collection of what was being searched right then. I would show my friends and we would laugh so hard at some of them, especially repeated searches because they told a story of someone desperate for more info.
- “butt hole smells weird”
- “was Paul riser in my 2 dads”
- “is my son gay”
- “my son is gay”
- “prayers for gay son”
- “cool money pictures”
?
Yeah you’re right. Furthermore, the graph that they show for “Did Joe Biden drop out” isn’t even in absolute units, so we can’t actually tell how many people are making this query. They normalize it so that the maximum is always represented by 100, but that still might only be like <1000 people.
It’s a meme, calm down
i truly would love to know how good it feels to be smooth-brained, empty head. it must be so freeing. full-time
legit i would almost pay for this if it was available as a medical treatment. just extremely selective memory erasure
wait, there was an election?
STAY IN LINE, OR ELSE

Onion was right to endorse Joe Biden - still the most trusted name in news
I know, my supervisor was one of them
