The main reason we have been successful for so long is that we change things that are not working properly. For example Senators were not elected by popular vote of the citizens until 1918. The smartest thing the Founding Fathers did was provide for a way to amend the Constitution.
Right now we have a Supreme Court controlled by one party because of a President that lost the popular election and a Republican majority in the Senate that only represents a minority (42%) of the population.
I don't think that is how democracy is supposed to work. And the fact that you support the current system just because it is working for your party smacks of impropriety.
