If half the country is wrong, that is why we have two parties, so that OUR party can fix the garbage the other Party is responsible for.
You have a strange idea of what 'representing all of the people' means. A vast majority of Americans, somewhere around 80% OPPOSE touching SS. Yet, to appease these wrong Republicans we have a Democrat putting SS 'on the table'. So how is THAT representing 'all of the people'?
I will criticize policies I disagree with especially when they affect ALL of the people negatively even if half the people have been indoctrinated and don't yet understand why they are wrong.
I don't care much about personalities, I'm sure they are all very charming in person, but that is now what they get elected for. If you care about the person more than the policies, that is your business, just don't expect the majority of the people to ignore their own interests on behalf of some politician they don't even know and who doesn''t know them.
If you want criticism of the Presidents policies to end from those who voted for him, then ask him to stop appointing Republicans, we voted them out for a reason, and stop offering up some of the most popular Progressive Democratic Policies to the chopping block. And to stop allowing his representatives to trash the very people who elected him and instead, to start trashing Republicans who didn't vote for him.
