We’ve gone from “if you don’t vote you have no right to complain” to “if you don’t dedicate time to running for office in matter how reactionary your area is, you have no right to complain.”
There is always more things you can do that are better for your cause than complaining to random people. You have the right to complain, but you do not have the right for that to magically be effective.
I was in the hospital for 3 weeks straight the first time I was appointed to a PC. All it took was going to one meeting and signing a form. If you don’t have the time, energy, and health to write your name one time, maybe you shouldn’t be writing the party platform.
That’s a very privileged take.
Millions of people lack the time, energy, and sometimes health required to do all or indeed any of that.
Demanding that those who can’t don’t exercise their right to dissent is discriminative.

Eventually it’s going to be “if you’re not at least a second term member of Congress, you have no right to complain”

Sounds kinda scammy. Are you sure they didn’t sell you a timeshare? 😛
It’s an unpaid volunteer position with a fancy title. At least a time share has some utility.
