The USA has never been a democracy. True democracy doesn't work. Otherwise we would just text vote our opinions to the government for everything.
The electoral college will, most likely, not change in our lifetime. 2/3 of the states would have to approve a change to the constitution. All of the lower population states will say no, because they will lose some major influence at the national level.
