    It still angers me how so many people were confused when Joe Biden wasn’t one of the candidates on election day. I understand not watching the news but like wasn’t that all over social media?

      One of the problems with social media is that that algorithms they use act as a filter based on your previous clicks. If one never clicks on political stuff, then their feed will rarely if ever show them political stuff. Someone who never pays attention to politics, and doesn’t watch the news, could easily remain completely ignorant of major issues unless someone they personally know tells them something or they are personally inconvenienced by a protest.
