Why don’t you run if you think you can do better?

Easier for them to complain on the internet than actually do anything about it

Which is completely valid.

If I was a politician hypothetically running for office against an incumbent wouldn't my main job be to complain about the status quo in public forums?

No it wouldn't .

Inane response oft quoted when lacking a real retort.

Next time someone complains to me about police violence against black people, I'll tell them to go become police officers if they can do it better.

And what does complaining on the internet do to fix your roads or about police violence? Nothing.

Actually given that we live in a democracy, discussing my dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in a public place is both a necessary and vital part of the political process.

Posting on Reddit doesn’t solve anything.
