Great. I'm not using a Dell. I have a laptop from a company that supposedly supports Linux first. A company I will not be buying anything from in the future either.

The awful screen is one big reason I don't use my System76 laptop more often. It's the worst laptop screen I've ever seen, has terrible light bleed, and has a pink tint. And this is the warranty replacement they tried to charge me for. The first one had the same awful screen, but kept freezing on me randomly.

And the damn thing STILL has hardware features that only work on Windows 10, five years later (like multi-finger trackpad gestures). I'll take System76 seriously when they start putting good screens in their laptops and get rid of nvidia.

“Age is front of mind for American voters in a way that it has not traditionally been and they are nervous about it,” said Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University.

Um, yeah, because never was normal to have so many 75+ year olds in power. They need to retire. And yes, that includes Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The Silent Generation and Boomers ran this country into the ground and never gave up that power.

Biden mixes up people's and countries' names all the time too. They both need to fucking retire.

From my perspective, the Fediverse is full of people who think Biden is the greatest president ever, that we should stay locked down in our houses for the rest of our lives, that everything should be free or provided by the government, and that if you disagree with anyone on anything, you're automatically a Trump supporter and a Nazi. (I don't like Trump or his cult, btw.)

I do have a PC with Linux, but I can see where you're coming from. Unfortunately, Linux isn't for everybody.

And people wonder why I have such an issue with so many 80 year olds being in power. This is why.

You're dismissing all of my opinions about Biden as "Trump propaganda."

You act like the only possible reason for someone not to like Biden is Trump. I never liked Biden. Or Trump. Get the fuck over it.

You already know the majority of Lemmy users would agree with me that Trump is a racist. Because he fucking is. I thought I didn't need to state the obvious, but there you go.

I don't think accusing ANY reporter of being a crack addict is an appropriate thing for a politician to do under ANY circumstances. Feel free to disagree with me on that, but whatever. It's my opinion.

Your argument seems to boil down to "If you say anything bad about Biden, you're a Trump supporter falling for his propaganda!" My argument is that this binary view of politics is the real problem with this country.

I don't like Trump OR Biden. Why is this so fucking hard for you people to understand?

I want to see voting reform. Keep in mind that Trump won his first term due to a fatal flaw in our election system. And by the way, I voted for Hillary Clinton. But as it stands now, it seems like you people would be happy with Strom fucking Thurmond in office (one of Biden's buddies) if he was alive and a Democrat today.

A quick YouTube search reveals he did in fact say those things.

Even Kamala Harris was negatively affected by his racist policies: https://youtu.be/S6-UC8yr0Aw https://youtu.be/QS5svMoKpas

But it's OK because people think Trump said those things: https://youtu.be/4m4_KibqaRU https://youtu.be/gFVXtSdlPUw

I'm not saying Trump is not racist. I'm sure you remember when Trump was confronted multiple times and asked to outwardly denounce racism, and he hesitated or avoided doing so. Which is also concerning. Only a racist would dodge that question.

And everybody forgot that Biden said that the vaccines will keep you from getting covid too: https://youtu.be/VArXfQU--LA

Absolutely. And people here wonder why I think both sides are full of shit. George Carlin was right.

That's a cop-out, just like how Trump and his supporters call any criticism of Trump "Fake News." Funny how similar both sides can be at times.

Elderly hero? Please.

Hey, weren't you one of the people accusing me of being a Trump supporter?

Ah, any criticism of Biden is "Trump propaganda." Gotta dismiss it with a bullshit term so you can feel like you won, huh?

Kinda like how Trump and his cult refer to any criticism of Trump as "fake news."

Funny how both Team Blue and Team Red do a lot of the same things and don't want to admit it.

I still think it was an inappropriate thing to say, implying that Latin-Americans are all here illegally.

What about the rest of it? You think it's OK to tell voters of color that they ain't Black if they don't vote for him, make racist jokes about 7-11, and make comments about Obama like that? Oh right, in SOME context, you think it's OK, and that context is the letter D after his name.

Give me a break. You're licking his boots because he is a Democrat who ran against Trump. Kamala Harris and Karine Jean-Pierre are his tokens to show he's "not racist." I have zero hope for the Democrat party because they have no incentive whatsoever to do any better.

I'm talking about the last election, and he's far more coherent than Biden or Trump could ever hope to be.

I'm not disagreeing with the reality of FPTP, but I still have the first-amendment right to be angry at Biden. But with the way political discourse is going in this country, I can't criticize him without being written off as a Trump bootlicker. Fixing that is the first thing we need to do as a country.

For real. My biggest issue with Biden and his supporters is that they pretend to be outraged at the stuff the Republicans do, while doing the same shit. Like bailing out the billionaires, overspending on military, and enabling the predatory healthcare system to continue to exist.
