There are ways of voicing such concerns without losing all sense of proportion. For example, MLK campaigned for Lyndon Johnson for President even though they had many differences, because it was clear that LBJ was much better than the alternative. That didn't stop MLK from coming out against he war in Vietnam, but he was smart enough to know that Republicans would have also rolled back Civil Rights legislation. Similarly, Democrats may have some bad policies that need to be opposed, but they are not going to scrap all of the progress we've made on climate change simply to enrich oil companies.
