I think you need to work on differentiating between legitimate criticism & histrionics. This isn't football. You don't just pick a team, buy the jersey & call it a day. Even the best of us have room to grow and improve. It would be easy for Newsom to counter the criticism by changing his positions.
Again, what I have been seeing isn't legitimate, especially when contrasted with the fucking disaster currently in the White House. There is a difference between constructive criticism and just trashing someone while ignoring the dumpster fire in DC. That's my point.
So you would be happy if any criticism of any Democrat (or maybe only Newsom in particular?) opens with the statement "this isn't as bad as the fucking clowns in the white house, but..." Are you not able to just infer this sentiment?
