When rural states are given more voting power, that's an unfair advantage given to a political party. One vote should be one vote. Oh, conservatives can't win presidential election? That's a reflection of how bad their ideas are. If we fix Senate for more proportional representation on top of that, then I can believe that it is a full-fledged democracy.
However those aspects were installed by democratically elected representatives and we have a democratic process by which those aspects can be changed. turns out some of the people being represented really want those things.
Without the electoral college, conservatives would have to try with more palatable policies. But even so, bad ideas don't stand, which is the conservatives' problem.
