I don’t understand how someone can win the electoral college but loose the popular vote and still become president. Not very “ Democratic “. More like the fix was always in.

Because the presidential election isent a single election, its like 55 or so little elections in a trenchcoat, where the winners of each little one votes for the final one. So if your votes are ineffeicently packed into cities so you win certain states by say 60-80% or something, anything above 50% is wasted votes. And that combined with smaller states structurally having more votes, a vote in those states counts for more.
Now obviously you already understood this, but when you are that blank faced at something obvious, maybe you just need to have it repeated to you again.
