Imagine if Biden had done an ad for laptops during his presidency. In fact fuck it I want Hunter to become the new US face of Lenovo.
No wait, Lenovo owns IBM and IBM have form with Nazi's so they'd probably want one of the other guys to do it.

Just as a point of clarity, Lenovo doesn't own IBM. IBM is it's own publicly traded company. IBM sold it's PC business to Lenovo in the mid 2000s, but they're two completely different companies. Lenovo has about 75k employees and IBM is over 300k employees.

IBM still exists separately, Lenovo just bought the IBM Personal Computer company in 2005, not the umbrella IBM. Lenovo is a Chinese Company, founded in 1984, in Beijing. IBM still makes mainframe compatible computers for institutions and they still handle their various support contracts and still work with businesses for large scale custom solutions and such. They just stopped making computers for individual people or that go on individual desks.
They've been in business since 1911, they started making PCs in 1981, and then stopped that in 2005. They only made PCs for 26 years, and they have been in business for 115, and named IBM since 1924. It was founded by a US Census Clerk. Their punch card machines were used by people on both sides of world war 2, Though yes The nazi party did start buying their hardware in 1933, and they continued to do business with them until America Entered WWII.
If it weren't for the punch card machines, it would have been much much harder for them to organize the holocaust. If people had to go through census data by hand inorder to draw up the lists of who was going to the concentration camps, NAZIs wouldn't have been able to torture and murder so many people.
Lenovo on the other hand is partially owned by the CCP. Who are currently holding muslims in concentration camps.

Lenovo doesn't own IBM, Lenovo bought off IBM PC business division in 2005. IBM and Lenovo are separate companies.

A better analogy would be Biden pimping for the new Chevy Corvette. Except, he's known to actually drive cars and really owns a classic one.
And no, Lenovo doesn't own IBM, which is a publically traded company headquartered in the US. IBM sold their PC division to Lenovo in 2005.

I thought the Hunter laptop wasn't a thing? Wasn't it Russian misinformation?

IBM just did a lot of business with Nazi's. Like many other American staple companies, like Ford and Coke.

Biden did somewhat promote Corvette during his presidency.
The situation isn’t the same as it is with Trump and Elon, and I’m not excusing that behaviour, but it’s a pretty grey line.
Ethics should be upheld as much as possible when you’re in the largest Most powerful hot seat.

At least when Biden went to car shows or drove electric vehicles while as president it's cause he was tying it to his agenda and cause he likes cars.
