I see, it's not as designed then... I'm not from US and I'm so confused every time I hear about rich people funding your politicians like it's perfectly alright and absolutely not fucked up.
It is just a weighted voting system where their opinion matters one billion times more than yours. I see no problem here.
Well. The system didn't originally come with any rules about money. And there was a period of massive corruption. We were working hard on fixing all of that until Reagan came along. And then the supreme Court blew it wide open with their Citizens United decision.
So yeah. It's working as designed by the conservatives in the 1980's.
