[quote=flu]I understand, but to be frank, I think a lot of decent republicans, especially at the local level, got caught up in this. There aren’t many sitting republicans in CA (well at least here, bay area, in LA) that are totally alt-right. The reasons why they are probably republicans to begin with is because they are anti-alt-left. Plenty of examples of sitting republicans that get get along just fine with all the other democrats in the middle. Punishing them is sort of like guilt by association imho.
It’s not so simple as dropping their party and running independent.[/quote]I agree with you that they’re not alt-right. However, I’m not afraid of the alt-right. I don’t expect them to drop their party and run independent. Although, I would give them much more prop for doing just that. There are several Republicans who refuse to endorse Trump and go as far as endorsing Johnson. A lot of the college republican groups also endorse Johnson over Trump. That’s the kind of backbone I want. I want them to put country over party.
Just look at Kevin Faulconer, that’s the kind of Republican I can get behind.
