President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race in July, but some folks didn’t appear to know that.

    I wish the average person paid more attention to politics.

      I wish I could pay as much attention to politics as the average person.

      It must be so calm and quiet. Like floating in a fluffy purple cloud.

    What’s the context within the graph, though? It spiked up, but does it represent 50 searches total? 10,000,000?

      you might want to take a look at this.

      Google Trends

      … values on the graph do not represent absolute search volume. Instead they are normalized, then indexed on a scale from 1-100

        Instead they are normalized

        Normalised to what? This doesn’t help.

        Each point on the graph is divided by the highest point, 100

        There we go. So a spike could be 1 person, or millions of people.

        The link blocks me from opening it? Anyhow, because it’s normalized, that’s why I’m asking. The 0 to 100 graph tells nothing other than right now being peak interest. There could have only been 20 searches for it, but because that was the most interest in the past month, it pegged to 100.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
