I can do more than complain when rights are taken away. That was the entire point of the second amendment, the populace needed to be able to defend itself from tyrants.

I hope to never see that day come to pass and will do whatever I can to avoid it, but we aren't left with only complaining if fundamental rights truly are being taken away.

in FPTP, if you aren't voting tactically, you are in fact not doing whatever you can to avoid it.

The 1st Amendment doesn't say anything about proving I voted before I complain.

If you want it to, you are free try to change the Constitution.
