1) “Chaos is a ladder.”

The show obviously ended as a piece of shit, the books will never be ended as George RR Martin got the tv show deal he always wanted and can spend the rest of his life in a hot tub filled with wine, but the quotes live on, and remain as true as ever.

2) Now, the trick with that quote is the follow up, because its not about reaching the top. Its about the scramble to reach the top, and how those who fall become broken.

Intuitively, then, if you wanted to eliminate many opponents at once, you should cause chaos.

3) By taking a stable structure and throwing in a dash of chaos, you upend the structure and cause all within to begin the scramble to the top, which means they’ll start shoving each other off the ladder.

4) The Democrat Primaries have been a stable structure. Biden, Warren, and Sanders at the top, a few tertiary candidates (Harris, Buttgeiger), and then a mess of 0-3% nobodies.

5) This structure has been mostly static since the 2nd debate after Harris stabilized.

Much of this is the DNC’s doing. Biden is not healthy, and he’s not stable, but he has a solid hardened support of close to a third of the Democrat electorate.

6) They shoved down and suppressed the bottomfeeder candidates, and have been pushing outlier polls off-cycle (monday/tuesday, before the wednesday normal weekly polling) to make Warren seem like the real second place runner up over Bernie for when Biden quits. ‘The Warrening’

7) Then plan was simple. As @The_War_Economy noted on our podcast yesterday Biden doesn’t have hardly any endorsements. Why does a top fundraiser with a third of the party voters have no endorsements? Because he’s not the real nominee.

@The_War_Economy 8) The plan was, Biden pockets the cash from his campaign, retires before the primary’s over, and throws his endorsement behind Warren. Its as Thomas Wictor said over on social.quodverum.com he was not this bad a year or two ago with the dementia and such. This is an act.

@The_War_Economy 9) The REAL race is between Warren and Bernie, who’s threatening to upend the DNC’s favored child again. But the DNC CANNOT let it be known they’re fucking Bernie a SECOND time, not after the Bernie Bro disaster of 2016.

So Biden gaffs it up, ‘takes advice of close friends’...

@The_War_Economy 10) And retires. The crossover from Biden to Warren plus Warren’s support cinches the nomination without Bernie having a leg to stand on, and the DNC’s hands are clean this time. NO ONE IS AWARE OF THIS PLAN, see all the Hollywood celebs endorsing Bernie. They’re out of the loop.

@The_War_Economy 11) Of course, I see this, because I’m a fucking genius.

What does Biden get out of it? Tens of millions of dollars in donor money he retires on and lives off of as a ‘zombie campaign’.

@The_War_Economy 12) Don’t believe me? If he quits today, he pockets $10 million on cash.

@The_War_Economy 13) Seems perfect, doesn’t it?

BUT. That only happens if he bows out gracefully from a stable structure as it stands right now.

Chaos is a ladder.

@The_War_Economy 14) And Trump... is the Chaos President. He is the Chaos Bringer. He is the master of finding and exploiting opportunities.

The whistleblower is real. What the whistleblower was told to get them to blow the whistle was fake.

@The_War_Economy 15) Things were timed perfectly to happen after the third debates, too late for a new stabilizing structure to form in the primaries, soon enough to provoke a scramble among the candidates before too many of them dropped out.

@The_War_Economy 16) Biden certainly didn’t seem to be gaffing it up in his video response to Trump or when reporters started asking him questions, did he?

@The_War_Economy 17) Amazing what an erupting scandal does to clear up the dementia.

Trump, for his part, is going for the throat. There is video of Biden BRAGGING about getting the ukrainian prosecutor fired. Trump tweeted it out. Biden’s about to lose out big.

@The_War_Economy 18) “But Kyyyyyle,” you blackpilled motherfuckers will say, “the media will side with Biiiiidennnn.”

They might.

But none of the other candidates besides Warren will.

Blood is in the fucking water now.

@The_War_Economy 19) The next few months of primaries were gonna be boring. The top 3 static, the rest dropping one by one. Biden drops, endorses Warren, she coasts to victory with a ‘united’ Democrat party behind her as Bernie doesn’t have the same support he did in 2016.

@The_War_Economy 20) Now? Chaos. Biden can’t drop without looking like he’s retreating from the scandal. Everyone else has shots to take at him to draw away some of his support. Buttigeig and Harris might be able to make a move. Booker might take a shot.

Who’s getting knocked off the ladder? /e
