Wayne -

...But I'm not aware of why a "true" democracy would be "much" more unstable than what we have. ...

You are exactly correct. Our system has suffered severe degeneration by a combination of ill-advised constitutional amendments in the first quarter of the 20th century and unrestrained judicial activism in the second half. This election is likely to represent the knife edge upon which the future survival of the Republic balances, if in fact survival is still possible.
