US democracy is so wild because a lot of the ideas were really well thought out and deeply rational, several hundred year ago when they came up with them, but then they reassessed anything and now the entire system makes no sense.
The electoral college was designed to balance representation of different interests, but now basically just amounts to affirmative action for low information voters. Like "oh your entire understating of the economy is gas less expensive under Trump, gas more expensive under Biden? Here, have 7 votes. Also, everyone please shoot each other."
