If the CIA just decides who wins an election based on the interests of the ruling class, why didn't Hilary win 2016? (hexbear.net)

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?

She already did. Well at least from a certain briber point of view.

Trump's #1 briber in 2016 was Clinton's #3. Renaissance Technologies, a Aritifical Intelligence trading algorithm company headed by former cold war profiteers connected to Jeffery Epstein, was most certainly involved in the Pied Piper Strategy which was also to purposefully prop up Trump. MSNBC and late night shows can't seem to STFU about Trump. It's called Earned Media, and it's happening again.

They also gave millions to John Bolton bolton on Super Pac and ordered Trump to hire Bolton.

They also seeded the maybe-later-honey maybe-later-kiddo troll army aka Shareblue / Correct The Record as well as the infamous Cambridge Analytica. frothingfash machine.

I wrote a diddy up about it a few years ago on reddit-logo archive link

Trump ended up knocking down all the barriers and laying out the carpet to what we are all seeing play out in Ukraine and Israel now. The investor class got pissed off becausse he'd go right up to the line, do some assassinations, but wouldn't cross it and fired John Bolton.

Biden on the other hand seems to have no issue with biden-fall tripping over the line.
