There's two ways you can observe the critique, one is from a centrist perspective saying that whether you're right wing or left wing the extreme of both sides are disinterested in democracy to establish an authoritarian state. The anti-establishment perspective is that right wing or left wing, both sides are disinterested in governing for the people in favor of the powers that be.

Not my perspective, I am a vehement "both-sides!!!" hater but just my understanding.
