The election losers are now the rulers.
Here's the detail worth writing down: the men who couldn't win votes even in the Islamic Republic's own half-baked, unfree, non-competitive elections are the ones running the country today.
▪️ Ghalibaf: ran for president four times, lost every time — now one of the most powerful figures in the system and in charge of the negotiations file.
▪️ Mohsen Rezaei: showed up to every single election, never won — now Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council.
Even by the regime's own rigged standard, these people were rejected. The public said no — and they were promoted anyway.
It looks like the final days of the Abbasid caliphate: the caliph hiding in a tunnel while his generals fight each other over what's left.
