Yes, it is

Complainers are usually Kirchner "fans" that can't stand that people were fed up with her and kicked her out

It's their strategy

Well, she wasn't running for re-re-election so she couldn't have been kicked out (personally, I think if she had run, she would have won against Macri, but lost because her party ran with Scioli, a highly divisive and uncharismatic politican, but I admit that's speculation on my part. Let's remember on her first re-election she won with 54% of the votes on the first round, almost unprecedented).

I assume you meant her party was kicked out. Since 49% of voters voted for this party, and Macri's (somewhat fragmented) coalition only won on ballotage, I'd say it was a pretty close call... and now the country is highly divided.

Regardless, the political left doesn't like either Kirchner or Macri, and their criticisms are valid.
