say Russia's using him again for 2020, actually never stopped, but are a lot more secret and sophisticated in their techniques this time. Sanders announced back in autumn 2016 that he'd run in 2020 and they've had these years to get them in place and up and running.

For those who don't like this reality, assets don't have to agree or collude, just be in positions and behave in ways that make them useful. A leader for instance, as opposed to clueless or uncaring supporters. Trump's also an asset, even if he is knowingly colluding. Too much of a narcissistic whackjob to be an actual agent.

And of course, all the voters, nonvoters, toxic pundits etc who helped elect Trump were useful idiots.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
