OK then, how about convincing them to support: - impeachment and prosecution for high level corruption (e.g. the Presidential cryptocurrency) - prosecution of constitution-violating police and Federal paramilitaries, e.g. in Minnesota? - leaving LGBT people alone legislatively (at this point I'm not going to ask for improvements, just that the situation not be made worse)
