So instead you choose authoritarianism: 20 people on a plan and one of them shoots the pilot, takes over, and crashes it. Everyone dies.

Churchill's point is that stupid things can still happen in democracies, but no one has come up with a better alternative. What would you suggest as the better alternative? If you don't have one, then you just helped prove Churchill's point!

It's more like,

• 2 hijackers vote to crash
• 1 votes with the hijackers because they share a hometown
• 2 vote no
• another 2 vote strong no
• the other 12 don't participate because they don't want to get too political (we have 40% voter turnout where I live)

and I've been through enough elections to see how we are all heading to a crash, every time.

But if we made you running everything it would be perfect.

That's the thing with anti-democracy sentiment the people who advocate for it always assume they, or someone who agrees with them on everything, is going to run things. No one imagines themselves in a slave society being a slave.

No, nine vote to crash it, seven vote to go left and four vote to go right.

Crashing it is! Thanks, first past the post voting system.
