It's easier to find faults and complain than do the hard work to support someone.

And they get to feel like they are doing something at the same time.

People were complaining about how he was too yOung and lack of experience.

So now experience matters but when it was Clinton or pelosi or others they attack them.

These people are led arOund by republicans.

This whole article is worth the read: https://www.wired.com/2017/03/silicon-valley-lawmakers-1-trillion-plan-save-trump-country/

I don't agree with him on everything but he is able to articulate with some specificity what we should be doing right now, the kind of conversation we should be having about job risk in the future ( actually immediate future too)
