Democratic elections and hyperpartisanship are not one and the same. The problem is when representatives have more allegiance to their party than to their constituents. That's a long term side effect of plurality voting (which forces everyone into two opposing sides, lest they lose due to vote splitting). It's also very solvable, such as with Approval voting [1] that is not subject to vote splitting and tends to elect the first choice of the hypothetical median voter. 1. now in Fargo ND! :)
