It has to do with separation of powers.

In a democracy a single individual couldn't make this decision, so if a president or prime minister decides to do such a drastic change so quickly other people (congress for example) will put a brake to it and force a reflexion/transition period.

Sure. When talking about Finland or Scandinavia. But it is very possible/likely to have a bunch of incompetent congress-man. That's even worse that a single incompetent douche.

How is a bunch of incompetent leaders worse than one incompetent leader?

A bunch of incompetent leaders can get nothing done. They'll focus on attacking each other and destroying what ground they live on. An incompetent leader will try to get his vision realized. Might not work all of it but some of it might pan out.

I’d rather have a bunch of idiots doing nothing than have them rule a country.

I think the parent is suggesting that they don’t do nothing. Only that they do nothing to further the best interests of the people. They will absolutely further their own interests and have little interest in the (often human cost) side-effects of attacking each other.

Eg. Medicare.

Yeah, but if they do nothing, things might turn out okay. If they manage to succeed with the wrong choice, then everything will be shit.
