Aren't there a shit ton of people that search for them? They're in the news constantly and if you're still (somehow) undecided what better way to keep up with them than by searching. Not to mention anyone that wants to make a meme about them.

Sounds like someone has been searching for Trump and Biden. 👀

When's the last time you searched for Garland or Wray

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Which of them is up for election?

[-] ganksy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Neither. Does that change whether you searched for them?

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Absolutely. When talking search results, the vast majority of searches will be for the top two candidates for POTUS in a few months.

I would bet the majority of Americans don't know Wray or Garland, but damn near everyone has heard of Trump and Biden. I don't even know who Wray is, so I'm certainly not going to search for him.

The post I replied to was basically saying it's likely that a large swath of the public would search for all these people. My comment was that most don't know who Wray and Garland are. You are arguing my point.
