When the current administration lost the popular vote by millions, it's hardly what "voters" want. The electoral college was a hedge against populism. Yet it's been twisted to work FOR populist platforms by gerrymandering districts such that only a Republican has a fair shake, and the state then awards them their votes.
Notions that the people of any country have the government they deserve is nonsense. First past the post voting, special interest lobbying, and just plain ignorant politicians marginalize a lot of voices.
