Maybe it's too soon.

I didn't mean to cause or add to stress.

I've thought a lot about this...whether or not I am ok with criticism of a Biden admin going forward. Much as I felt with Obama.

I actually think it does more for their cause for us to be transparent about critiquing them, than to hold off.

But this is my view, my opinion. I understand it is not necessarily shared or maybe even welcomed. Especially here. And I would not want anything to undermine Biden. I honestly believe strongly he is the person for the moment, even though he was not my 1st choice. Kamala was. I think his presidency has the potential to be more consequential than Obama's.

He is going to get criticism. We can participate in elevating it to substance, and still be gracious, intelligent, and productive about it.
