Its great to be suspicious and critical! The starting point of that conversation must be grounded in fact!
Nobody even has to like the guy at all, but the question needs to be "how do we use him/his community?"
"He is a lib and gave Bernie a pass" is almost there, but even then I often see it posted to dismiss any further conversation.
