Rush Limbaugh occasionally suffers from political micro-dyslexia on his radio program when he frustrates himself by saying Osama meaning Obama, and vice-versa. For instance, "Osama killed Obama.'

Predicated Political Predator

A person, regardless of where their beliefs in politics land, left, right and possibly center; predicate their political beliefs before their personalities and before speaking with their hearts. Will also ruin people's lives and/or careers assuming they (the person whose lives and/or careers are being ruined) do not share the same opinions they have.
Jerry was mad at the general state of people nowadays, what with a good number of them being Predicated Political Predators.

Perfect Political Representatives

Perfect political representatives ask their constituents what they need and want him or her to do ‘for them’ in the legislative body, list those things in order of popularity, and post those requests on their website. Before voting on a bill or proposing one to the legislative body, they ask their constituents to vote on them, post the total tabulated votes, and based on those figures vote for or against a bill or present or do not present a new bill to the legislature. Excluding anything strategic, they also webcast live what they say and do as candidates and as elected political representatives.
Perfect political representatives only exist in novels.

Political Culture Shock

A social situation that arises when an individual moves to a new location they have not previously lived in and finds that the political climate from where they previously lived and the political culture of the new area they moved into are completely different from each other. Some issues that accompany this situation include anxiety, discomfort, identity conflicts, homesickness, confusion, frustration, anger, language barriers, generational differences in terms of views on various political topics, and differences in terms of where, when, and how people in that area think about and discuss politics.
Kailani: What’s wrong with that guy in corner? He seemed to be very anxious when I was speaking to him about politics and does not seem to be very mindful of his tone when speaking about his views.

Sarah: I think he moved here three to four weeks ago; he is probably suffering from political culture shock. He is probably struggling to get used to the political climate around, which it may take him a while to get used to it.

Kailani: I see.

The GitHub Political Party

Advocates for a government where policy is managed via a respiratory hosting service that governs voluntarily via subscription plans. The GitHub Political Party would put in place a open-source government that stores revisions of projects for ideologies and policies.

In practice the Github party would advocate for a voluntary society in which groups and individuals maintain and develop their culture or interests whilst maintaining a pluralist attitude valuing philoxenia (a love of strangers). Their philoxenia & their pluralist attitude are valued by each of the societies, despite them being apart of various schools of thought because they all consider the possibility that the other society is more correct. Each of these societies evinces a willingness to update their theories as more evidence becomes available. These voluntary societies treat their ideas like code where there are willing to update to new versions, fork into separate versions experimenting with different ideas, and are willing to boot up older iterations with the knowledge they obtained with newer iterations.
Within these voluntary societies people will be able to vote with their feet or dollar ;in lieu of, diluted votes often associated with regular democracy.
Thanks to the GitHub Political Party all the political ideologies are living in harmony. People now live within the political systems they choose to or the political systems they dream up themselves – what a wonderful world. Where everyone is free to choose what they wish and create political systems untrammeled by basic b democracy.
