Letter: Questions to ask of local ‘progressives’ – Olean Times Herald

We read that the local progressives, which we define as including all Democrats, are disappointed that their anti-President Trump events have accomplished very little, if anything, and are now considering whether they should spend their time and money to obtain offices, at the city, county and even state levels.

Assuming you decide to run for local offices, we have some questions for you: If you lose, will you seek to delegitimize the winner or support and work with him or her in order to help serve the public?

Will you join with others to protest a decision of action made by the winner, even though its the subject matter of the winners platform? Or will you tell others to cool it and give the winner a chance?

Youre going to face a lot of people, who, like us, will not support you, perhaps ever, if youve got a D next to your name. Your brand is damaged, perhaps beyond repair. Youre shown yourselves to be sore losers, antagonistic and really mean people.

Such obstructionist tactics dont do anything for this country.

Dan and Myrna Coleman, Portville
