I thought the electors were picked by the delegates at the national convention for each party?

And the delegates are picked at the caucuses/primaries in each state?

So, going to the caucus and being involved at that level has an impact, but I still don't understand how the popular vote has an effect on the presidential election.

I'm very sorry, I've been trying to make sense of this for over a year. I guess I'm just dumb, but I'm going to keep trying.
