I’ve seen discussions on here about Biden winning this year because he works in the ruling class’s interest.

If the CIA really did just push a button at Langley and decide the next president, why not Hilary?

She’s a corporate ghoul like the rest of them, loves war, everyone expected her to win, and the election was close enough to be plausible either way. She would have been a more reliable, or at least knowable, asset to the deep state than Trump.

She would have been the same mid president as Trump, but it would have been more of a banality of evil approach. Everyone’s material conditions would have gotten worse in the same way but there wouldn’t have been the media circus around everything she did.

So why do you think the ‘most qualified’ person for the job didn’t win last time? And what could that say about this year?

    I don’t believe you can really say this when there has been a concerted effort on the part of the ruling class to remove Trump from office and ensure he never gets anywhere near the levers of power again literally from day 1 of his administration, and continuing to the present.

      Well yeah, sure. Because Trump also made line not go up quite so much for some other parts of the ruling class. I’m not saying they both benefit all of the ruling class equally. But they are both very transparently bolstering the bourgeois class in general.
