      That’s what I’ve been saying… There’s no 5d chess going on here. They left an aircraft carrier out for almost a year because they fucking forgot about it

      The only plan in place is “how do I profit off destroying the government”. And they’re short sighted even on that simple plan

      They will eventually, but they should really be in lockstep already with November just around the corner. This is some June behavior, when everyone differentiates themselves with some popular but brave populist stance they never plan to follow through on, not late September.
