How so?
He seems like a generally decent person, but I don’t understand where the excitement around him has come from. Hell, he was my representative for years, and I would struggle to recall much of anything that changed with him in office
This one hurts. He was taken by the same disease that Robin Williams had…
My condolences to those affected by his loss. RIP.
Smiled when I saw someone de-slopped the meme, smiled even harder when I saw the same OP
You love to see it
Tell a loved one how much they mean to you
yeah, that’s completely fair. I haven’t had any noteworthy issues but I understand that isn’t exactly typical with a rolling distro haha
otoh, I migrated to cachy from Windows just over a year ago, and haven’t really encountered any friction whatsoever despite my only prior Linux experience being installing Mint on an old laptop (which was a miserable endeavor, but that was entirely due to the sorry state of the laptop).
I’m probably a lot more willing to tinker than the average non-technical user, but it can be fine for newbies if they’re willing to learn
His record as a senator isn’t as important (for the very valid reasons you mentioned), but he was both my representative in state senate and the House before being my senator. I lived in MD for a long time.
Not sure how much I agree when it comes to putting his name out there, though. Effective legislators ought to not only advocate for their constituents, but also make them aware of how they are fulfilling the mandate they’ve been given.
Ultimately though if my biggest criticism of the guy is “he’s not very good at advertising himself,” then I certainly can live with him as a potential majority leader. Absolutely beats Schumer, anyway. I mostly ask why people like him because it’s bizarre seeing a (formerly) local politician’s name thrown around seemingly out of nowhere
