[Star Trek Voyager] Why does Janeway bother with crew meetings when no matter what advice she is offered she has already made her decision and will not back down from it no matter how insane it may be or how huge the problems that will result from it are?

Example, we ARE going through Borg space despite the insanity of doing that.

It's less "already made her decision" and more "nobody has offered a truly viable alternative". As risky and otherwise crazy her ideas may be, the meetings are an opportunity for people to object and offer alternatives. It is rare that an alternative is anything more than simply "don't do that" or an idea that doesn't actually connect to the intended result Janeway is going for. 

With nobody offering an alternative that works or leads to the same end, the original plan wins by default.
