I agree there's too much bitching, and not enough action. That tends to be my biggest issue with a lot of my fellow lefties. They're cowards that prefer to hide in their run down homes, and cry about the injustices of the world.

I don't know how to fix the country's problems...but what I do know is this, what Hail The Leaf and I are most afraid of...

You CANNOT out law abortion. You cannot tell a woman what to do with her body, her future and her life. All the reasons the right has for ban abortion, the morning after pill, and birth control, are based in religious beliefs. We have every right to complain about Alito being sworn in because that is one more step toward reversing Roe V Wade. It CAN happen, it's not a false threat. I get off my ass and write letters, I've called senators, and I plan to be in DC this year for the march.

AT LEAST when lots and lots of people complain, it creates a buzz, more people are, voluntarily or not, dragged into having to pick a side. Now it may only cause 1 out of every 100 people to take some action, but 1 is better than nothing. If no one complained, no one would do anything to stop the bitching, and we'd be screwed. Think about it that way.

I know what you're saying though, and there are plenty of people on the left and right who agree with you. All I'm saying is I'd rather hear mass complaining and whining than silence.
