Think of this comparison, in true eastern European style, as a “serious joke”. First, excuse the silly part: there are leagues of difference between the intrigues of a totalitarian party state and the Democratic primaries.
Totalitarian party state? Are they talking about the US?
There were obviously no free and fair elections in the USSR.

Good article, though it's a bit unfair to call Brezhnev "frail and confused" when he won the trust of the nomenklatura: he was quite young really. He held power for 18 years and when he died he was still younger than Biden is now.

Guardian looking at gerry mandered maps, voting machines that have never, ever matched with exit polls, the fact Presidential candidacy is closed to non billionaires, voters purged off rolls, the captured state of the RNC and the DNC (who get to decide who can and cannot run), the role of the billionaire Murdoch press in elections, the fact Princeton and Harvard consider the US an oligarchy and finally the fact most senators are millionaires
Very free, very fair and democratic

Protests, dual power, and even electoralism.
