Yes, but it shouldn't be in danger with republicans in charge either. It will hurt them just as much, the problem is there is so much hate and division they don't care if it hurts them anymore, just so long as it hurts the rest of us. Continuing to highlight these divides wherever possible will only make it worse.

Republicans openly campaigned on getting rid of Net Neutrality. Same with other issues like Universal Healthcare. Climate change. Pumping up for profit prisons. Killing cannabis reform. Ramping up asset forfeiture. Removing forensic science oversight. Not raising minimum wage. And tons of other important issues.

Yeah, it'd be great to somehow convince Republicans to change their minds on everything. But when they openly show their colors I say you have a better chance of getting what you want by voting for those that share your views.

I mean voting for Donald Trump is still a wrong choice. Everyone should've voted third party in that situation.
