You said what I was going to say.
Marmorato should take a look at what Nikki Fried did in Florida. She was the lone Democrat holding statewide office (agriculture commissioner). Did she say she would work with Republicans? No, she used her position to bash DeSantis at every opportunity she got and pushed for Democrat agenda items that were within her departmental jurisdiction.
Fried knew she was behind enemy lines and did her best to tarnish DeSantis because the Democrats knew he was a rising star in the Republican party. She even gave the keynote address at the DNC convention in 2020.
That's how it's done when your constituents vote for change (except that Floridians didn't know what they were getting with Fried, who ran on a platform of medical marijuana).
Bronx voters didn't pick Marmorato for her to immediately say she would work with the other side. If that's what the voters wanted, they'd have chosen another Democrat.

“Bronx voters didn’t pick Marmorato for her to immediately say she would work with the other side.”
That may be because in my lifetime, like most during that time, haven’t heard of any liberal saying they would work with the other side that actually did. Oh, they’d listen, that’s what they do. And then do what they want. We were 50 years at one point of a liberal controlled house. So nothing got done by a conservative for that time frame because if it wasn’t liberal, it didn’t get to the president.
That was why Trump got it done enough to start change. You can’t repair all the breakage like that in 4 years as fast as you can break it.
