Superbelt, thanks.
Here's what I think about your final point:
I do comprehend the essence of the idea of constructive criticism being helpful to an evolving process. I see a difference developing, however, when it becomes a refuge for scoundrels, and even more commonly when it is really a token for powerlessness.
You know how constant complaining can be the easiset and least productive way to improve a situation? That's a lot of what I see happening. I think that constructive engagement in a political process is the way to go - not complaining.
It is a slow row to hoe. Progress through constructive engagement takes some strategy and it takes starting at the bottom - doing grass roots political work. Things like that can - in the long run - change processes. Complaining couched as constructive criticism is transprently empty.
