The pretense is pretty much gone. U.S. elections are no more open and fair than are elections in Russia and China. At the local level, money rules. At the national level, alternatives are restricted to hose that are establishment approved. Super Tuesday has come and gone without debate. Nikki Haley was the only alternative permitted, and she is a puppet of the military intelligence establishment.
No debate is permitted on the most important subject of war and peace. Occasionally, public opinion surfaces in the form of Trump, Galloway, or Corbyn, but these alternatives are dismissed as not serious. The real players know the truth which is not shared with the voters for national security reasons.
Democracy is a good aspirational value. But let's not kid ourselves about the reality of our political existence.
