You're saying local elections bring the best people
I did not say that. I said that local elections were more likely to have more based people. Which is true, because local politics is much higher variance than State, which is much higher variance than Federal. Local politics is also much more likely to have people further to the left. See for example Florida, where counties and cities are ignoring State orders prohibiting mask (and I think vaccination) mandates.
So which is it?
I want my side to win however they can. In most states that will be by seizing control of local governments, but if the State government is more based then I'm OK with that too. Notice I didn't say "don't vote in State elections"; I said "don't vote for swamp creatures just because they have an (R) behind their name".
