I also am not inclined (at all) to believe nefarious motivations were afoot, at least not for the candidate.

Yes, the ‘enemy’ is the 2-party system. Yet that is the political space available to us. Was it Gramsci that wrote that, for victory, we first have to learn to walk the long walk through the halls of power?

(meaning infiltrate from the bottom, up, until all that’s left is a quiet revolution amounting to easily agreed changes to law and policy. This is something Republicans have been doing for decades. Witness the slowness of the DOJ to find the evidence needed to indict Republican leaders for Jan 6, evidence there for all to easily see.)
