Think more about the reasons for that displeasure.  The Senate (i.e.
Mitch McConnell) denied Obama to even bring a nominee to a vote for
almost a year.  But then Trump rammed through a nominee only several
weeks before his term expired.

Had normal procedure would have been followed, Obama would have gotten a
nominee, Trump would have gotten only one nominee and the Biden would
have gotten the third one.
