After their loss in 2016, Hillary Clinton's team hatched a plan to blame Trump’s win on Russia, and the media/establishment have run with it ever since.
It helped ensure there would be no judgement day for her, the Obama years, or the Democratic Party, thus ensuring that another corrupt neoliberal, like Joe Biden, would be able to succeed in this year’s primary.
Since 2016, voters should’ve been coming to terms with how the hell someone like Trump was able to become President - ie because the Democrats, like Blair’s Labour in the UK, abandoned the working class and chose neoliberal globalisation, leading to huge inequality, poverty and resentment.
But instead, they’ve been told to blame it all on Russia and to see Trump as an anomaly put there by Putin, when really he is a symptom of the system; an inevitable consequence following decades of both parties screwing over workers. So now they’re desperate to end what they see as an aberration, and return to ‘normalcy’; ie to the neoliberal disease that threw up Trump.
Elites and their media win again. Immensely sad for the world. Bernie Sanders wasn’t perfect, but he’d have definitely started seriously fighting the disease.
