If I made a major incendiary claim, you'd want to see some evidence. If I told you "Well the evidence is secret," you'd rightly dismiss me as a crackpot. But if I worked for a government agency with an extensive history of lying, the political/media class would accept my claim as fact.

There's no good reason to place your primary focus on "Trump bad" stories anymore. We've had four years of that, now he's on his way out the door. Biden is the next president and he's already doing lots of things that need criticism and scrutiny. Start punching up.

People who wrongly saw Russiagate as the deep state attacking Trump because they don't like him won't recognize the similarities to the Chinagate op. Those who know Russiagate was the US intelligence cartel manufacturing a case for aggressions against Russia will see the same thing happening with Chinagate.
Russiagate was not the deep state attacking Trump because they don't like him; it was barely about Trump at all. It was about reigniting cold war hysteria and manufacturing support for a new cold war. All the China/Biden stuff will be used in the same way. Some analysts recognize the fact that during Russiagate, Trump actually greatly increased cold war aggressions against Russia, but not many make the jump to seeing that that was actually what it was all about. Escalations against Russia and China have been planned for many years.
"But Caitlin, Russiagate was fake and Chinagate is REAL!" No you dupe. You only believe that because you think Russiagate was about Trump. If you understood that it's just the US intelligence cartel diddling narratives to force a confrontation before US hegemony is surpassed, you'd see them as the same.

The battle is between those fighting to turn the lights on and those fighting to keep the lights off. Those fighting to see what's going on in their world uninhibited by propaganda, censorship, lies and government secrecy vs those who support the evils such things are made to hide.

Gonna quit this gig and become one of those superintelligent communists who spends their time explaining why it's actually leftist to support western imperialism and the Democratic Party.

Gonna quit this gig and become one of those politicians who gets elected on a left populist platform and then spends their career slamming the brakes on leftist agendas because they're just not realistic right now.

Since the Democratic Party has officially decreed that Americans can survive on empty platitudes it's actually perfectly rational that there should be a place in the Biden cabinet for Pete Buttigieg.
