They didn’t ’fuck things up’. They were following Constitutional law. Outdated law, to be sure, but barring an amendment, they had no choice.
American presidents are not elected by popular vote. Never have been.

I didn't particularly cared above three mentioned by you. Also not being American I don't care all that much for how exactly system works - I simply see president "winning" elections despite losing popular vote as a parody and proof of failure of the system. In my view it is popular vote that reigns supreme.
But it’s NOT the ‘failure of the system’. It’s the system they saddled themselves with.
I agree that it’s a poor system and needs to be changed. They changed how the Vice President and Senators are elected, they can change this.
