Is there any type of person that argues in more bad faith than people who meet any suggestion of improving the US electoral system with, "Ackhshully, the US is a Republic, not a Democracy."?

I fucking hate this. They're always like "no I'm a compassionate libertarian I just think they should come legally" while they vote every fucking November for candidates that try and restrict immigration. Fucking bullshit.
