Sure:
So you literally referred to me saying I'd reserve judgement as "hyper-criticism" (when I in fact had at no point offered any criticism of him). If that's not unwavering and unquestioning, I don't know what is.
Pretty sure I did nothing of the sort. Unless you just think that being cautious of someone based on their associations is "shitting on" them, in which case that's a 'you' problem.
Yes, the full membership of the Democratic Party that has been doing almost nothing whatsoever to counter Trump, the same full membership of the Democratic Party that kowtowed to Biden deciding he was the best candidate instead of having a primary, and lost us 2024. That same full membership is exactly why I'm cautious. As you said,
Which is obviously not true, seeing as when I was, you then accused me of being "hyper-critic[al]".
At this point, it feels like arguing for the sake of arguing, because my second comment, after you came right out of the gate accusing me of being a right-wing stooge, clearly stated:
clarifying that "reserving judgement" meant I was/am perfectly open to him actually being good, and supporting him!
But that was apparently not good enough for you.
