The problem is that laws are being forced on people against their wishes, and that the electoral college which made this possible is a rarity among large developed countries. There just isn't a need or excuse for it in a mature country. The fact that we're a representative democracy doesn't justify the existence of the electoral college.

The U.S. is indeed a democracy, but it is not a direct democracy. It shouldn't be used as an excuse to wheel in a bunch of tyranny.
