51% of a vote can go the wrong way now and then.

Yes but winner takes all is not the only voting system in existence, and democracy goes beyond just voting once every few years.

What else is there? You are effectively only asked to choose between bad and worse candidates at a fairly low frequency.

		You're equating democracy to presidential elections, that's not the full extent of it. Free press, transparency, independent justice, referendums, etc. are all part of a democratic system. Norway / Denmark / Switzerland do it better than US / UK / France for instance.
