Re: Waddya know?, Dec. 10. Yet another GOP, crowing about the election, “done and won!”, and trying to say DEMs need to ignore national politics, now.

In your dreams. We are capable of focusing on both local and National politics, and, no, we won’t be quiet. There are 33 Senate seats up in 2026, and all 435 House seats. There was no red wave. Trump barely got more votes than 2020, when he lost.

Just like all citizens, the writer is free to focus solely on local issues if that is her desire. If she and others think they can bully Dems into silence, they have a better chance of getting diamonds from Pluto.
