it could, but there's good reasons to use a bar graph in situations like this - the underlying data is essentially counting discrete events/things/whatevers, rather than representing some continuous function that changes smoothly with time.

Isn't the whole point though is to figure out how this function is changing over time? You are right, it's discrete data, so lines don't make sense, but you're kind of wanting to treat it as a function over time for all practical and policy functions.

Would be better off using a rolling average or something though.

So I have nothing better to do right now so I quickly typed up that data into excel (rough estimate from looking at the bar graphs) from three counties. Doesn't this give you more information???

Who knows what they think deep down really. Witness Alex Jones who freely admits most of what he says is just to confirm the biases of his audience.

Spark, don’t doubt Corrin’s credentials to speak on behalf of these nutters. Few are better qualified

Surely America has reached the point now where the best thing which can happen is Trump catching this thing and dying as soon as possible.

The twins, 33, started the Occupy Democrats Facebook page eight years ago and, combined with an accompanying website, they have reached a digital dominance rarely seen among liberals — one that keeps pace with viral news sites and regularly outperforms President Trump’s own page, as well as the Daily Caller, Fox News and other right-wing websites or personalities. What was once a hobby between gigs has grown into a full-fledged, full-time operation with five additional staffers.

Over the past month, nearly half of the 40 top-performing videos on Facebook that mention “Trump” were from Occupy Democrats. They have had a top-10 performing post on Facebook regularly for months. A video they recently posted called “The Liar Tweets Tonight,” sung by a choir of individually recorded voters to the tune of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” was viewed 41 million times, among the most-watched videos on Facebook over the last month.

Facebook boomer meme culture really is a truly strange thing.
