Editor:
I have to respond to the “Nov. 5 Voting Recommendations” column offered by Quentin L. Kopp in the September edition.
As a politician himself, it is more than a bit ironic that Mr. Kopp comically derides politicians for “[getting] free speech confused with cheap talk.” As if cuing himself, he then proceeds to call Kamala Harris a “cheater”; his evidence is that she won the 2003 election for San Francisco district attorney by running against the incumbent, who had hired her as assistant D.A. I would call that political skill, but maybe Mr. Kopp thinks the 2003 election was rigged.
Then, after falsely representing and minimizing Mr. Trump’s criminal convictions and pending trials, Mr. Kopp sourly mourns the futility of voting as a Republican in blue California and that he will therefore write in his own name for president of the United States. Beyond this point, one can only read his voting recommendations as satire. I, for one, am grateful that Quentin Kopp’s wasted vote for the presidency doesn’t matter because California is securely in the hands of the Democrats.

Can’t we all just get along? Even just a little? I know it’s not easy, but staying in our dugouts and yelling insults at each other is getting kind of old. Let’s figure out what we can agree on and roll up our sleeves and get to work. We are all Americans, let’s not let the ways in which we want to solve problems stop us from solving them.
As the late Gen. Schwarzkopf said “We all know the right things to do, the hard part is doing them…”.
And to be honest, let’s not blame government or the politicians we elect for our problems. We elected them and we voted for all the laws that give us the life we have today. We are the solution, now let’s find some people that can be civil to each other and clean this State up. Thank you for reading.
