how are they taking away your vote? did you vote for biden in the primary? just sounds like projection bro~
If they are willing to take away their own voters' right to vote, it's not a huge stretch for them to take away mine when they get the opportunity.

How is this projection? The guy I voted for is the nominee. The guy you voted for is not the nominee. My vote counted. Your vote did not.

our votes don't matter already the EC does, plus the conservatives are always the ones mad about more people voting so please cope harder bro~

Out of 260 million adults, 14 million voted for Biden in the primary

That's about 5%

The truth is primaries have extremely low turnout, and the DNC/RNC favored candidate typically wins anyway

I guess if you were part of the 5% of all American adults that voted for Biden in the primary you might be upset - but the truth is the entire primary process and two party system is already extremely undemocratic

This is the hardest cope here.

Hey guys, 14 million people don't matter.

So if the system is so undemocratic, how is Trump a threat to democracy? Make it make sense.

He didn't have any opposition, it was effectively a roll call primary

Sure if other Democrats actually ran and they ignored a real nominee that would be awful - but Biden ran virtually uncontested and then dropped out

Whatever scramble happens next will decide who the D choice is - people are still free not to vote for them

which supporters were trying to break down polling stations in different states with one being "stop the count" where trump was losing and "keep counting" where he was losing? really seems like your side doesn't care about voters bro

How soon you forget about Dean Phillips, Marianne Williamson and Jason Palmer.

RFK Jr was forced to run as an independent even though he and his family have been Democrats for generations.

You ain't gonna be rewriting history here, bub.

This is off topic. We're talking about Kamala here.

Ah yes, the Democrat super stars of Dean Phillips, Marianne Williamson and Jason Palmer

Household names that actually had a chance of winning the nomination

No real opposition occurs in years with incumbent presidents - those guys had almost no votes and had the chance of cinching the nom that Vermin Supreme had in 2012

You said he had no opposition. Maybe next time, you shouldn't speak in absolutes, especially when you can so easily be proven wrong

Now you know why they kept RFK Jr off the ballots. He is well known and had a chance of winning.

no... you talked about the dems suppressing voters and i gave you a counter-example, keep up~
Which party kicked poll watchers out and continued counting throughout the night?

Which party was trying to kick Trump off of state ballots until they got slapped around by the courts?

Sounds very undemocratic.

    Rp5 is shipping with 8gb of ram now

  • WinReset @ WinReset:
    haha hello
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @K3Nv2, I think the RP5 has had 8GBs for a while? I know mine has 8GBs not sure it's needed for emulation though? Probably 4GBs is enough for 99% of what it's fast enough to emulate? I could be wrong if it can do like GC and PS2 stuff maybe more is needed? Probably stream the ROMs like the consoles did off the drives.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I believe what they do is OS and translation layer (emulator) and the emulator has its RAM like 36MBs for PS2 so like 3 times that maybe as things are shuffled around, a frame buffer and. Load the data from the ROM file into that systems RAM. I think I read that even 2GBs is enough if your just using a Pi for emulation.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What's an RP5?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Raspberry Pi 5
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For me it's just an emulation machine
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Like a super mini system, I use Batocera as an OS and it's pretty easy to set up, has a ton of UI skins you can make it look almost anyway you want. Still would kill for a WiiFlow like skin (some are close)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I bought the 8GB model because my thoughts on that is the the difference between the models is like 20 bucks so why not get the good one just in case.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Almost never hear anyone complaining about too much RAM but not enough? Yeah best to avoid that one. Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I did kind of overshoot on storage, a 2TB nvme drive and I think 1TB would have been plenty.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably have like 700GBs of stuff on it now, and don't think I can add much more.
