another thing which is new as i mentioned is the way the internet has become the primary battleground and the rules of engagement plus tactics are in a state of evolution, are also being negotiated and fought over. in the past tv/radio/print could have muted a president but that has never happened.

of course at one level the reason corbyn lost two elections, the reason trump lost one election, the reason britain voted brexit is simply that, people who were free to vote any way they chose to voted the way they chose to. but that obscures all the money and manpower and ingenuity and organisation spent trying to ensure those results.

Let's not forget that @john eden also believes in capital punishment. But to dismiss the idea that there are powerful people tending the strings regardless of religion, creed or colour is to have one's head firmly stuck up one's arse.

very often in an election both sides have powerful backers, big money and advanced intergrated party machinery, more so in america than here becasue the two sides are even less distinguishable there than here but again whats interesting about trump/corbyn is that that breaks down. they have their share of public support but without the requisite big boy backing

@john eden your homework is to read or listen to this

And then come back and tell us whether you still believe what you claimed on the last page. Of course you won't for pettiness, but it's pretty much all you need to know

All told, Mr. Trump’s campaign and its shared committees with the R.N.C. had $251.4 million entering October, compared with the $432 million that Mr. Biden’s campaign and its joint accounts with the Democratic National Committee had in the bank.
Fortunes have reversed sharply from this spring, when Mr. Trump and the Republicans had nearly $190 million more in the bank than Mr. Biden and the Democrats did when he emerged as the presumptive Democratic nominee. Now, entering October, Mr. Biden had close to triple as much of the most flexible campaign dollars as the president.

It is possible that in the great battle of understanding or obscuring what I have written that there are powerful people on both sides. But as nobody seems to know this for real or can identify who they are there seems little point in talking about it except for the shits and giggles of conspiratorial Lols.
