Democracy Inaction


I had a thought and was wondering if y'all could clarify it for me.

"Democracy's best results can only be mediocrity."

That was the thought.

The reasoning:
Democracy relies on the idealism of the majority. The majority of people do not strive for extreme ideals. Therefore, the Democratic majority strive to bring about mediocrity.

Am I wrong?

If I'm right, where have you seen this to be most true?
