You are fucking retarded.
I am so goddamn sick of this No True Scottsman bullshit. Democrats and Republicans are your enemy. Get it through your thick skull. The political parties do not work for you or your interests. The fact that they work against you doesn't make them "fake Democrats" or "fake Republicans". They are genuine representations of what their parties stand for. They just don't stand for you or your interests.
Even Rand Paul isn't /ourguy/ when it comes to immigration. He'd be perfectly fine with half of India coming over here working "high-skill" tech jobs.
Work Visas are proper first steps for immigration and citizenship.
Assuming you want those things. I don't, at least for 10 years and preferably 15-20 if ever.
Duel Citizenship.

Oy vey you're being very anti-semetic goyim!
I want to disagree, but I don't think I can. I've given up on the representative republic. No matter how perfect a candidate you lift up for a position of power, there is only 1 way that they could represent all of your interests: that candidate would have to be you. Naturally, there are finite positions to fill, so there will be many citizens that fail to have their interests represented.
Eradicating Rinos and Dinos is a priority for someone who has not given up on our present political structure. They think it's perfectly fine to have a couple of political boxes and if large amounts of citizens become unhappy then it only means that it's time to change the stickers on the boxes.
I've only thought of two solutions. One is to go full democracy, zero representatives - every little beaurocratic motion requires X% of the population to vote or it goes in the trash, and then there must be some 60%+ of the votes in favor of the motion. This would require a serious overhaul of how voting is handled and the terms of citizenship that can grant voting rights.
The second solution is to just go full retard and boost the number of political representative positions by 10 times or more. Make every representative be a single issue representative so each voter has no need to make a compromise on their values. This would require all political power roles to be voted for, which would make some powerful people very upset. It would also be a large burden on voters, as there would no longer be general roles like "mayor" or "president", and they'd be replaced by large numbers of hyper-specialized politicians.
These are not things that exist. Stop using the terminology.
Explicitly say "politicians that are actively working against my interests".
But I wasn't using them in reference to my beliefs. It'd be more accurate to say "politicians that are actively working against the interests of people who use the terms rino and dino," which is a mouthful, so it's more efficient to just take the label and use it so those people understand it.
I would not use the terms if such a person had not popped up. My expectation for bystanders here is that they understand that our present political system is a farce, so I have little motivation to treat them like normies.
Contextually, I was trying to refer to the type of person you had responded to. Perhaps I was not direct enough to prevent this misunderstanding.
Fair enough.
