because you will have 5% of the country deciding what is right for 95% (land mass wise). Polititions would cater only to the largest of cities and all the other places would be ignored. Campaigning would only happen in the large cities. It would be a major travisty if the large cities were able to lower their taxes considerably on the backs of raising the taxes of rural america. There are a lot of issues with useing a pure democracy. I have only touched on a couple of them.
