"Democracy is bad, but it's the best system we ever had" ~ a man whoms Name i forgot
(Well I still disagree we had Anarchy for short periods of time, except you want to see it as very advanced democracy but anyway the quit is good OK)
Don't you mean? :
Because the quote you gave doesn't seem to come from any known source.
The reason why any "pure democracy" is trash is because it's susceptible to the ”democratic fallacy”; whereby a majority opinion is misconstrued to represent some kind of "truth" and minority opinions are somehow "wrong" often leading to a form of potentially dangerous mob rule.
Yeah maybe I roughly translated it from my native language.
