Actually, there’s another aspect to “tyranny of the majority” that concerns me: if we elected our president off of the popular vote, the high-density, high-population urban states would be the only states with any political influence.
That's entirely untrue. As it stands now there are only a few states that determine the election. A popularly elected president would have to appeal to vast swathes of the electorate to be elected.
