"Yeah, the government's screwed up, but what are you going to do about it?"
"Stop biotching and do something about it!"
What if we divide up the labor into problem identification and problem solution? Could be a new 2-branch form of government?

Hello =)
People often place that challenge before critics of the status quo.
They think themselves incredibly wise for doing so.
However, if a group of people are lost in the jungle, is it not appropriate for some to say "do not go that way", when they know that a certain path leads to quicksand, swamp, and certain death, even if they do not know the way out of the jungle??
Just because a person does not know the right answer, does not mean he cannot discern the wrong answer. So, no, one is not obliged to have a workable solution before pointing out a problem. Doing so, makes you an idol of the people, however, and will frequently get you elected, even if your solution is the wrong answer.
Namaste, and Happy New Year,

Yeah, because none of us knew that people had a problem with the government. It's gone way past the point of "pointing out" and into the realm of whining. Years ago.

You aren't obliged to have a solution before pointing out a problem. However, you (you in general - not you in particular) should have a better idea before criticizing others about the solutions they offer.

No. Certainly not. Besides, opening the floor for discussion will often offer a lot more than one potential solution.

4-branch. Somebody has to make sure prioritisation does not ignore inclusivity. It may only be a little problem, but it has just as much right to be solved.

No!
One must only believe that there is a solution. Duologue is a precursor to action. Without talk there will never be action.

No, but you are expected to have specific problems, not just the government's screwed up! Specify your complaint.

Your question is more like a statement but you do make a good point.
Seems like you answer your own question.
