Because the DNC enjoys power more than democracy and does not allow such things to happen.
That's right wing spin.
Only the politically ignorant believe it.
Lol. No. Only the politically ignorant think that the DNC is anything but a power hungry juggernaut, set on choosing candidates based on their own agenda regardless of the will of the people. They don't even really seem to care if their candidate gets elected.
I really don't understand how more of a fuss wasn't made when they cheated Bernie out of a fair shot, were sued by donors and used the defense "We were so blatantly favoring our favorite that anyone who thought we were being impartial wasn't paying attention and deserved to be swindled out of their money! Yes, we broke rules to get Sanders out of the running, but we were very obvious about it and they were our own rules and we can break them if we want, so get fucked." And the court was like.. "Yeah... sounds good."

You're still hurting over Bernie. That's cute.
Politically that was a long time ago and you're still holding a grudge over it. This is why the Democrats lose.
Many on the left needs to be placated with something new every election cycle while the right votes without any hesitation.
The DNC would actually benefit here because the popular vote would always bring in a Democrat. It's the small, red states that will never let change happen because Wyoming enjoys having more direct representation than California.
The PEOPLE would benefit since they are the ones doing the voting, not the states. It is just as ridiculous that Republicans in California have little say in the presidency as Democrats in Wyoming.
The Republicans in California have a better chance of seeing a Republican president with the electoral college than they would with a national popular vote, even if their particular votes carry less weight. In a sense that gives them more representation in the end, not less—their voices are ignored but they get what they wanted anyway.
These things are not mutually exclusive.
Or because it would take a constitutional amendment. The only way around that would be making the electoral college irrelevant via the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which has largely only been signed by democratic leaning states. In fact, of the states that have passed it, zero have been right leaning.
There are certainly shitty corporate democrats that do fall into your category but to say the party as a whole is that way is ignorant.
That must be why Republican-dominated states have passed the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. /s
