Don't be so stupid. Just because they are not elected in the same way as US senators does not mean that the EU is not based on elected officials. The constituent countries elect their MEPs and their governments. The governments in turn elect the officials.
One notes that the American government works similarly. The President appoints a cabinet as they like without the people getting to vote on them. It is seen as good enough to elect the President. The EU sees it similarly, it is just that the power flows along different lines.
