Have you paid attention to US politics lately?
Money, influence, lobbying and power.
Voters don't decide, money decides.
You gotta be a billionaire or have billionaires behind you to run there.
And then you gotta pay them off afterwards.
Sure they have more steps, more 'elections' to get there.
But it's all run by money. Or at least the last few steps.

but that one last step is the most important. sure it may not matter in the long run, but the whole point of a democracy is for the people to choose their representatives. what exactly is democratic about a Liberal, Conservative, or any other party leader arbitrarily appointing a representative?
