Isn't this exactly what Trump said Harris was gonna do and that he was gonna not do?
that doesn't make him a normie. if he was a normie, talking to him would be like talking to anyone else on that end of the scale: incredibly milquetoast.
the normie/psycho axis isn't how much we like them, it's how much they're willing to deviate from the status quo and get people fired up.
Kamala said she was going to look for a ceasefire. Trump told Netanyahu to hurry up and finish the job. Get off your high horse.
what is bernie doing so far to the normie end of the scale
I cannot recommend Framework laptops enough. I recently got my hands on one and it's the best laptop I've ever owned. It of course runs Linux like a dream. Everything works out of the box. No proprietary blobs needed for any of its hardware drivers, of course, plus the firmware for the embedded controller as well as the keyboard are open source and can be reflashed from the device (the keyboard firmware is even a fork of QMK). Its 165Hz 1440p 16:10 monitor being driven by a Radeon 7700S makes it one of the best laptop gaming experiences I've had, which is especially impressive considering it's not marketed as a gaming laptop. Three hours battery life with the dGPU installed is the best I've seen out of a gaming laptop ever, and if you pull out the GPU and run off integrated graphics, the battery life doubles to a very respectable six hours for web browsing.
There's also of course the obvious customization aspect. Don't like which I/O ports are on the side? Swap in a different module! You don't even have to reboot your computer. Want your trackpad to be centered or off to the side to make room for a numpad? Move it around! You don't even have to reboot your computer. Who needs Nvidia Optimus when you can physically remove the GPU from the laptop, reducing power savings even more and making the laptop several pounds lighter to boot? (You do have to shut down to do that, and swapping it out takes around five minutes, but still.)
I know this post sounds like it was sponsored but it wasn't. I just really love this thing ^-^
Go snort copium, liberal.
Looks like you're snorting enough for the both of us. Thanks for offering to share yours, but I'll pass. Later, loser!

no i'm pretty sure jkr can turn straight men gay. i think she thinks she can turn gay men straight.
Pshh, you're not a leftist. You just use the same words they use and think it's the same. You ain't fooling nobody but yourself.
"Remember, kids, blatant, sweeping misandry isn't bad because painting -- no matter how you slice it -- literally half of society as rapists and murderers and sex-crazed lunatics whose only thought is for animalistic dominance over anyone standing near them is a lie so big and so dangerous it'd give Trump a run for his money, it's bad because if a transmasc person reads an 'all men are bad' post, they might think it's about them and be sad, and then you'd be hurting someone we actually care about."
It sickens me that these people call themselves feminists. You can fight for trans rights and women's rights without doing it to the exclusion of everyone else.

Thesis writing
I've been seeing a worrying number of these people on Lemmy lately, sharing enlightened takes including but not limited to "voting for Biden is tantamount to fascism" and "the concept of an assigned gender, or even an assigned name, at birth is transphobic" and none of them seem to be interested in reading more than the first sentence of any of my comments before writing a reply.
More often than not they reply with a concern I addressed in the comment they're replying to, without any explanation of why my argument was invalid. Some of them cannot even state their own position, instead simply repeatedly calling mine oppressive in some way.
It occurred to me just now that these interactions reminded me of nothing so much as an evangelical Christian I got into an argument with on Matrix a while ago, in which I met him 95% of the way, conceded that God might well be real and that being trans was sinful and tried to convince him not to tell that to every trans person he passed, and failed. I am 100% convinced he was trolling -- in retrospect I'm pretty sure I could've built a municipal transport system by letting people ride on top of his goalposts (that's what I get for picking a fight with a Christian at 2AM) -- and the only reason I'm not convinced these leftists on Lemmy are trolls is the sheer fucking number of them.
I made this post and what felt like half the responses fell into this category. Am I going insane?
c/dragonsthatwonthavejobsforlong lmao
I don't like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in November. Even if you did, and even if you convinced two thirds of the people who would otherwise have voted for Biden to vote for your chosen candidate instead, Trump would still win because half the country voted for him and your guy only got a third. If you vote third party you might as well stay home.
Not voting isn't going to stop the genocide in Gaza. The US will continue to funnel them arms no matter which candidate wins this November. Trump practically campaigns on how much he hates the Jews and he's publicly told Israel to "finish up their war". He'll also make life a living hell for anyone who isn't a straight cisgender male back here at home.
A vote for a candidate is not an endorsement of them or their policies, it's a statement that you like their policies more than the other guy's, and "sticking it to liberals" and "refusing to support genocide" (that's not what voting for Biden is doing, by the way -- a vote for either candidate is a vote for genocide and a vote for neither is an endorsement of both) is not more important than keeping the furthest right politician America has ever seen out of office.
How incredibly privileged do you have to be to see an entire national election as what will happen in the Middle East and ignore Trump's campaign promises to wipe transgender Americans off the map, and further, to not realize that the same thing will happen in the Middle East regardless of which candidate wins?
I hate Biden as much as every other leftist here. But I'll still vote for him because Trump is worse. If there's a single bone in your body that cares about the lives of your trans friends you will too.
