This depends on ideals and opinions but from my point of view it is not a fair and democratic way of selecting the president due to the fact that the citizens of this country have no real say in who is president. Therefore it is not democratic. Fair? No because the electoral college Can have biases just like any other human and they are not the majority. This goes hand in hand with the democracy question. If I was to be democratic. The citizens should cancel out what the electoral college says.
Now I’m the side of the reasoning as to why the electoral college exists. It’s understandable. Everyone is not trustable enough to decide the fate of the country. Overall it is not fair and democratic.

James Madison dismissed a direct democracy since the US is a large country and thus impossible to be governed through direct pure democracy. Instead, the father of the constitution argued for a scheme of representation in a republican setting. He especially lauded such a government since it even catered for the rights of the minority than in direct democracies.
