Why is the US government like this?

In democracies, governments reflect their citizens.

Great thing we’re not a democracy then.

Our next president is likely going to be someone who none of us actually voted for in a primary.

Popular vote is not decisive for that vote anyway.

A system where the whole populace votes on everything isn't the only kind of democracy. The US is a representative democracy.

Did I say they have to vote on everything?
