you should be able to criticize every single politician. they are not your boss, they are supposed to work for YOU
if i ever get to a position of leadership, i want you to criticize the shit out of me. while constructive criticism is preferrable, some of it will be disingenuous. but you need to be able to take that shit, that's the price for having great responsibility
people with responsibility are beholden to the people they fight for, you shouldn't blame people for providing critique, to the contrary, you should welcome it. leaders can't possibly know everything themselves, they need the people to constantly update them on their needs/wishes
it's not easy, but you should also engage in constructive debate with people who criticize your favorite leader instead of attacking them personally. that's what it takes to move beyond a society where there are a few leaders "above" people, but where ALL people are the leaders
