As discourse goes, it’s fine to point out problems, but also of limited usefulness without an alternative. In fact, it can be outright harmful if it “let’s the perfect be the enemy of the good”. Or at least perhaps “let’s the perfect be the enemy of the at least they aren’t Nazis”
No one is suggesting fascism as an alternative to democracy. But fascism isn’t the root of the problem, it’s a symptom. Trump didn’t put himself in power, he was elected. Trump isn’t the root cause, and if we refuse to focus on anything other than the republican party we won’t be able to find the root case. And without knowing the root cause it’s hopeless to look to a solution.
What if they don’t have a better alternative? Is there a rule against pointing out problems without immediately having a solution?
Is there a law against asking?
No, but I wouldn’t call what you’re doing “just asking.” Seems more like sealioning to me.

Maybe reread the definition.
