Reasons the U.S. political system is ridiculous

I came up with five. There are others. What else can the rest of you come up with?

1. Supreme Court is given lifetime appointments but no other branch of government is.
2. Supreme Court is not directly elected by the people, but the President and Congress are.
3. Congress has no term limits but the Presidency does.
4. The system is dominated by two parties who have a lot more in common then not. Both parties systematically complain about third parties even though third parties represent an expansion of the democratic process.
5. The electoral college. If it might have been useful 200 years ago, many feel it wore out its welcome a long time ago.
