The popular vote DOES elect the president/VP in the United States.

The key words in that statement is "united" and "states". Each state chooses its electors based on the popular vote of that state.

Should the POTUS *ever* be elected by a national popular vote, then that POTUS would NOT be president of the "united states", but rather some other national entity. One that does not exist.
