So is anyone ever allowed to be upset about anything? Can I complain about pot holes or will your response be that I should try becoming a construction worker? Am I allowed to be upset about power outages or am I not allowed to unless I work at a power plant? You are so fucking absurd and if you’re legitimately unaware of how fallacious your logic is and not actively trying to argue in bad faith it’s kinda sad.

Not what I said at all. It’s so easy to complain on Reddit instead of telling your legislators how you feel or running for office yourself.

Democracy runs on public discourse. The public discusses amongst themselves the problems they have with the current administration and determines whether they want to re-elect incumbents. The public should not all run for office if they have a problem, they vote for another candidate that will do hopefully do what they want.
I really don’t understand what you want, should I never complain about public officials with other voters and advocate for change without having to uproot my life plans and run for office? Like in your world is it wrong for me to do anything about issues I have with government other than run for office or get a generic email back from an intern when I write my congressperson? Do you understand issues I have with your line of thought at all?
