Many people are angry because their candidate lost.
Many others are pleased with the Electoral College since it did exactly what it was supposed to do - prevent highest population centers from running the rest of the country. If California results were discounted, Trump would have won the popular vote by almost 1.5 million.
We don't know that changing over to choosing the President by popular vote would have given us a different result since the campaigning would likely have been in only the high population areas. More people might have voted because they felt their vote would finally count and third party candidates would likely have gotten fewer votes.
