I invite you to show me evidence of any marches on Washington where people demanded a new electoral system.

Well, assuming there haven't been any, that doesn't imply people want someone other than the popular vote winner to be elected.

There is a simple way to ensure that the popular vote winner becomes President, so one explanation for why there are no marches advocating "a new electoral system" is that the enlightened realize there is no need to change the Constitution.

Sure there is. Your compact, which still isn't even in effect despite being around for over a decade, doesn't fix the problem with Duverger's Law and the two-party duopoly.
