The one 1/2 of one branch that is the closest to the government you describe, the house of representatives, hasn't been allowed to do a single thing the last 6 years. If your assertion was true that the government was a reflection of the people the other branches would see that obvious will and let the house lead the issues.

The problem is the system you guys have
The USA is the only country that has been able to make a system like yours work - everybody else that tried it crashed and burned
The rest of the worlds democracies have gone for a parliamentary system,
the best ones use proportional representation
And nobody else has open slather on political spending
