No, I don't think any criticism weakens us. I think apathy and inaction do. The people I'm talking about have been advocating for: 1) not voting or 2) voting for nonviable candidates.

I don't worship any politician, and democracies thrive with a diversity of opinion. Very glad to hear anyone's well-reasoned critique about anything in the political sphere. This, however, is about pragmatism and action.
