    Many Russian comrades and friends seem not to have a firm grasp of how American ‘democracy’ works in practice. This can result in many misunderstandings. Let me simplify matters for you: Hillary Rodham/Clinton will be the next President of the United States of America. This was decided a long time ago, and barring unforseen accidents, such as Mrs Clinton being devoured by a bear or, preferably, a crocodile, the outcome of the almost 3 year long ‘election’ process will be victory for Mrs Clinton.

    Many US citizens are aware of this. Accurate figures, for obvious reasons, are not published, but it can be assumed that a sizable proportion of the over 50% of American voters who take no part in the election process do so because they know the result is a foregone conclusion. ‘Elections’ such as this are a major component of what some Western political scientists have called ‘Really Existing Capitalism’.

    A grasp of these simple facts puts into perspective the current brouhaha over Mrs Clinton’s emails. She denies wiping down her private server with a cloth, and claims that she knows less than nothing about how to work a computer. When asked questions about these matters by the press, who clearly enjoy this game enormously, she repeatedly tells blatant lies, and shrugs expansively. The purpose of this charade is to allow those members of the American public so inclined to engage in futile and worthless discussions, in which they can fantasize about real justice existing in America, and pathological criminals like Mrs Clinton receiving what they deserve, from ‘The People’. This is, of course, preposterous; the chances of Mrs Clinton ever going before a court are about the same as Mr Putin joining a gay motorcycle gang. But it also serves to harmlessly deflect some of the seething hatred Americans feel for their criminal ruling class.

    I hope that these few words have helped my Russian friends form a more realistic view of the American electoral process. Naturally, there is much more to be said, hidden in plain sight.
