Jesus, Nixon was an idiot. Computers don't get "smarter."

You failed to list her support for fascist Israel, her money from billionaires, and her attachment to Joe Biden's policies and their relation to the economy. Face it, she was a status quo liberal and we're past that IMO. The people were never going to vote for Joe 2.0. Joe fucked up big time too. He didn't help his case by dropping out at the last minute. I know a lot of folks that were pissed the DNC skipped primaries even given the time constraint.

I say all this and I still voted for her. I won't make the same mistake voting for these liberals again though. The meta has changed. Trump has changed everything.

Jesus, Nixon was an idiot. Computers don’t get “smarter.”

This is honestly a ridiculous, petty criticism, especially of someone in the 1960s/70s.

Even today, half a century later, it's not an uncommon colloquialism among the general public to describe advancement in computer technology as them 'getting smarter'. Have you not noticed the Big Thing in computing now, that everyone is calling "AI"? That stands for "artificial intelligence". And it's not accurate today, either. But I wouldn't say "Jesus, you're an idiot" to anyone calling it that. Would you?
