“No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise,” Winston Churchill once said. “Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.”

Churchill was right to say this, as Plato had been before him. Democrats should take their advice as they pursue President Trump’s impeachment. Because while Trump’s conduct towards the Ukrainian President was unbecoming and evinces poor judgment, Democrats should not be so quick to make this an excuse for reversing an election.
