    I don’t buy it. She has two bachelor degrees, both in fields common for young folks interested in politics. If she were a spook they’d have at least sent her to grad school. Instead they had her spend 5 years post-college working at restaurants and non-profits, and then knocking doors for a little known senator from Vermont in 2016?

    I also find it a stretch that the CIA wants anyone with a loudspeaker normalizing socialism, undoing years of their hard work.

    The real problem is that there isn’t any leftist org or union powerful enough to hold their endorsed politicians accountable. Even if we run a self-taught bartender with a heart of gold for president, once elected they’re no longer ours.

      Right, but what you say only means she was not always an op, but not necessary that she isn’t now. Not even letters have resources or need to observe every pencil pusher around, but once at the certain level of career, especially being known as a “socialist” would 100% draw their attention.

      There are also of course more mundane explanations for why someone appearing genuine will suddenly turn warmonger when elected to the office.

      Many people more or less believe she’s an op because alternative is that entire left side of US politics is rotten to the core so only duplicious bootlickers surface there.

      Yeah it’s almost certain she is just an opportunist career politician. Urban areas in the US are fertile grounds for “progressive” pseudo-radical politicans to take advantage of.
