Verily! I point out that when the 'Rats made Papa Joe Bitem their prez candidate, I posted that it was a plan to discourage people from voting, proving that they could nominate an ape AND get it elected AND there is nothing that anyone could do about it. This is manifesting time and time again.
I suspect that Bitem is a 'holder' until Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez becomes of age; there are a number of billionaires willing to dig into their fortunes to get her elected; she is controllable.
