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?

    Trump was fundamentally fine for the ruling class. Same as Biden. Same as Clinton would have been. At that level the fix is in the candidates running the race are chosen. So it doesn't matter who wins. It is probably better for the health of the system they don't fudge things that hard. Just making sure the candidates chosen are on the team is more than good enough
