    So when are we ever supposed to criticize a candidate if they’re not trying to win a popularity contest?

    You criticize them in office, you get called being unhappy who won.

    You criticize the policies in time of midterms and people say you just throwing the election.

    You criticize them in time for reelection they say you just want the other side to win.

    When is the time we can criticize the politicians we voted for, for enabling and pushing forward policies that have actively hurt the people who voted for them?

      In office is fine. Leading up to and around the primaries is the best time.
