It's clear you're arguing in bad faith. You know exactly the period I'm referencing in the chart. You're being pedantic because it's the only way you can win this argument, on a technical basis. You know I don't mean literally everybody dropped out at the same time to endorse Biden, but a few somewhat relevant (especially Buttigieg) candidates at a pivotal time frame. I don't need to argue how influential the media can be, nearly half our country (not literally half, since you might have trouble parsing through that) is deluded into thinking Trump is the best thing to happen to America. Again, it was a timed attack just as Bernie was clearing gearing up to take the nomination.
