Are proportional systems "hyperpartisan"?
Biasing towards supposed "moderation" marginalizes a broad range of the citizenry outside the mainstream and breeds cynicism and fury. Even if they cannot command a policy-enacting majority, minority opinions deserve a voice.
People should be allowed to vote for representatives who actually represent them!

This is the most anyone has any right to expect. >People should be allowed to vote for representatives who actually represent them! People need to stop seeing voting as some kind of identity affirmation.
