I’m currently annoying nazis.

So nothing. This isn't directed at you, but I'm getting really tired of so many on the left bitching about everything, but not offering any viable alternatives. People don't want to get their hands dirty in the trenches.

Reminds me of a Teddy Roosevelt quote:

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

But, feel free to dismiss this wholesale since he was a bad person (probably).

Dude if you like teddy roosevelt quotes, you’re going to love all the horrible shit he said about Native Americans. His family also got their start by selling drugs to China.

This isn’t directed at you, but I’m getting really tired of so many on the left bitching about everything, but not offering any viable alternatives.

The only viable thing to do is to vote for genocide and make excuses for it.

Or you could not vote and get more genocide in a variety of flavors! Hey when we're all dead, at least you'll finally stop complaining.
