Well said.
To me elections are secondary to constitutional amendments. While the Document is perfect, it’s the interpretation of that document that matters.
We need to amend it with ‘sunset triggers’ that help our nation deliberate and ‘clean house’ and then return to perfection. For example ...

BOLD SOLUTION: Constitutional Excoriation

As people fester with impotent rage [at least until Trump came on the scene], we have a golden opportunity that another group of conservatives had. Remember the New Deal? It was not as popular as reported. FDR inspired the ‘Term Limit’ amendment [for presidents]. Congress also passed legislation to prevent packing of the courts, but that too could probably have been a constitutional amendment as well. [snip]
... we’re not talking about ‘narrow majority’ tyranny but rather a constitutional amendment would require THREE out of FOUR states to support it. If three out of four of our states are evil, then we’re lost as a nation anyway [as Mark Levin says]. So what sensible person wants us to be paralyzed in fear of 3/4ths of the states?
And I believe that three out of four WILL support some manner of this idea [probably a humdrum spin-off unfortunately]. And when the overwhelming uber-majority of states support an excoriation hearing, let’s see which congress critters object to the idea. [Write down names for the next primary.] And let’s see which members of the Ruling Class try to hide behind congressional rules [which can be suspended with the low bar of a simple majority].
The STATES can manage this hearing collectively and judiciously, and the verdicts can be creative and ribald hazings. But make no mistake — people don’t want conventional trials with all the legal baggage that goes with it. In our hearts every patriot among us yearns for subjective common sense to win the day for a change! [snip]
For starters, we could suggest an ‘Excoriation Hearing’ of the Obama Administration, [including Loretta Lynch], Lois Lerner, anti-originalist ‘justices’, Jamie Gorelick, Bill Ayers, etc.
But also the Fred Phelps activists [God-hates-bleeps], NAMBLA, ACORN. the KKK, skinheads, US Nazis, Black Panthers, New Black Panthers, La Raza, re Conquista zealots, the ACLU, FAnnie/FReddie, the credit rating agencies that deceitfully stamped ‘AAA’ ratings on bad debt, fraudsters who funnelled tax money into corrupt schemes, the most radical Islamic fanatics of our nation, the ‘carbon credit’ fraudsters, the Southern Poverty Law Center, US flag descecrators, zealot prosecutors who agitated the maximum sentence of the Philly 5, and last but not least â SOROS and his operatives.

Yep. That requires a motivated population whose members are more interested securing the rights --OF EACH OTHER-- than in who's winning the NFL Felon fest, American Idolatry, and Dancing With The Perverts in between commercials for Beer, Erectile Dysfunction, Sleeping Pills, and Depends this week.
>>and then return to perfection.
As perfect as eternal human vigilance in the context of human nature can make it anyhow.
