That's not what Democratic Republic means. The electoral college of the US is not in any way inherently required to qualify as a Democratic Republic. It's a unique American political construct.
Also "that's the way it should work" is just circular reasoning. You're not actually addressing any of the issues brought up- which seems to suggest that your support is based more on political expediency than anything else.
I'm sorry that what you want isn't what the majority of voters want, but this constant conservative game of manipulating the levers of power to enshrine minority rule and turning a blind eye to blatantly undemocratic systems in our politics is not okay.
