back in 2016, i spent months agonizing over how the republicans could be so daft as to allow themselves to be defeated by this buffoon donald trump - even while realizing that he was winning because he was the more moderate candidate, and a lot of the basis of him winning was an anti-cruz and anti-rubio vote, as those candidates were actually more extreme than he was. i criticized them from every direction for being unable to pass a prisoner's dilemma. i didn't get it.

i could see what was happening, but i couldn't believe it. and, i will remind you what my prediction of the election was: i said "if the election is fair, clinton will win. but, i suspect that it is not going to be fair, and trump will "win".".

i even suggested, sarcastically, that trump would win pennslyvania and michigan; that is, i suggested that that was going to be how they'd steal it. i said something like "they're going to try to tell you he won in pennsylvania, which is ridiculous.".

it wasn't until the day of the election, and i actually saw the tv tell me the republicans had won in pennyslvania, that it really clicked - the reason that these establishment candidates were running around like idiots, unable to organize a basic prisoner's dilemma, is because trump was actually the establishment choice. this wasn't some kind of mistake. this was what the fuckers decided on months ago, and i surmised that it was explicitly to keep clinton, who the deep state despises, out of power.

and, then i suggested (half sarcastically) that they'd change the topic by blaming it all on russia - that they would erect an imaginary russian bogeyman as a projection of themselves, and then train you to direct your hate at it.

it's all there. on the side. why do you think the cops are trying to shut me down?

i make mistakes like everybody else, but i try to learn from them as best i can, so i'm not going to be confused by the democrats running around like trained seals, bumping into each other, in order to facilitate a sanders victory. i don't think they're all in on it. but, if you see the senators campaigning into may without a chance in hell, and bleeding votes away from a biden or a buttigieg that won't quit, then you shouldn't get frustrated - you should realize who they're working for.

i'm not nearly as worried about bernie winning as i was about trump winning, and i'm not really convinced that he's not being set up as a patsy, anyways. does the president actually get to pick his opponent? is that the actual reality? because that's looking to me like what the game here, is - an opportunity to campaign against socialism. even as bernie's being handed the nomination, he's being stabbed in the back.

i've pointed out that bernie will lose a two person race against pretty much the entire field, and that the only way he can win is to split it like this. that may be exactly why it stays split.....because it's the only way he can actually win.

and, trump will get the pinata he wants, by the mutual consent of everybody involved.

and, i don't know how much he knows about it....

my point is not to get confused when these actors do things that don't make sense. they're making far more sense than you think, you just don't understand what they're doing.
