It isn't "both sides" to point out failures in leadership.
Say what you will about Republicans but their core messaging has been remarkably consistent and effective. The Democrats won a hard-fought chance to turn things around from a pandemic-leadership perspective, and then those leaders get caught up in ineffective lies (Fauci saying masks were likely ineffective to try and save supplies, which was a fool's errand) and unrelated culture wars.
Are they better than the Trump administration? Absolutely. Have they made some egregious and completely avoidable errors? Also yes.
