You only favor the system because it still gives republicans a chance for presidency. Each vote needs to be at least true proportional represented in the electoral college if it is to still exist. Throw out the electors and just let the states vote be divided proportionally. |
Assigning each state ONE elector might be more favorable (or it might actually make things worse).
To be honest, a parliamentary system might work more favorably than Presidential democracy mainly thanks to the ability of people to vote for lower profile figures with no power who will be unable to mass market their policies. We will then only have people in charge who obtained the vote unanonimously because MPs believe X candidate was the best choice for president.

It's working as intended. Otherwise, the entire political system was broken and we have to trash the parties and start with even more political forces in the fray...
