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?
The CIA (and Mossad and other intelligence agencies with a long history of wetwork) are not dangerous because they are puppet-masters secretly controlling everything, but because they are allowed to do whatever they want and with almost an infinite budget. I think in general people on the left tend to overestimate the intelligence community's skillset, which leads to them making the wrong conclusions. Obviously I'm not saying that these freaks aren't extremely dangerous, but they aren't omnipotent.
