Not in the least counter to design of US system... It is fully well considered and intentional as a part of it... the reason why "Democratic"... but, a Republic... and not a "democracy" ... with strong limits on both "Executive" power... and "popular" power... balanced against each other... against independent judiciary... and states own span of control, with duplication of the model. It requires conflict between them... to divide power and divert its concentration against "the people" It is inconsistent with party faction being advanced as a good... and being made able to overcome limits... which didn't take long... as Federalists were running rough shod over political opposition in short order: "American Aurora"... a useful read... uses competing views from newspapers at the time... to burst the bubble of those claiming "we're more divided than ever"... today... suggesting instead that "the internet" has disrupted the propaganda machine legacy of WW II and the Cold War... to restore "real" debate, again... that also having us shuffling toward restoring legitimacy, again... if not quickly enough for those seeing "Biden's policy" as "America"... And thus, not "a democracy"... which founders feared, for all the right reasons... Often overlooked, that the French supported our revolution... that leading them to theirs... so, the two were essentially co-fermented... both steeped in opposition to the excess and incompetence of the Ancien Regime... in different context... but, the timing not coincidence... a first failure in "confederation" (as Europe is failing in, today)... meant our first election of Senators in January of 1879... the French Revolution beginning in May that year... the storming of the Bastille in July that year ? An active correspondence existed between the two... and opinions of founders on events in Europe are not hard to discover... ? And, of course, shifting opinion as "the potential" turned into what it did become... Founders debates fully contain seeds of all of that... as "democracy" to be feared as "mob rule"... so, risks must be contained, but, also, not containing its best features... as "the wisdom of crowds" is not often able to be corrupted by the graft of the usurpers... as "unaffordable"... and making the taking pointless if shared... accelerating the failure in result of "running out of other peoples money "?
