Complaining is really nothing more than complaining. Performing a duty actually accomplishes something tangible. We're just having fun engaging in arguments. And so long as that is all we're doing then we're just as useless as any other Joe Sixpack. At best we're a drop in the ocean that is the evolving consciousness of our country. At least until we/you/I go out and do something actually useful.

But of course the idea that someone shouldn't be able to complain about something that affects them is just democratic brainwashing by the government to get us to vote and/or believe that our vote actually is meaningful. Just ****ing bitch if you want to, basically.
