Democracy can be just as oppressive as any other form of government.
The EC is just a minor thing to help protect Americans from the oppression of Democracy. The Bill of Rights was designed to be the main protector. Too bad the Liberals ignore it.
Actually Liberals invented it. So there's that.
I think you're trying to dance around the dicey expression "mob rule" but ironically that mob mentality is exactly what fucked up the Electoral College. The Liberals who designed it could see it coming (Madison wanted WTA banned). And now we've got the Michigans and Floridas and Pennsylvanias and North Carolinas waddling into Congress claiming some candidate who couldn't even score half the state's vote, gets 100% of the EV. Not only is that a 'mob rule' in each state, but none of them will give that bullshit practice up because of the same mob mentality. Because "if the other states are doing it, duh we've gotta do it too". Slavish.
And that's been happening for going on two centuries, so your crocodile tears about "oppression" cannot ring more hollow.
