Seeing that I don't live in the USA no, but I did in all of those that are in the country I live in.

 

So instead of being all dismissive and quiet, why not say when the last time you voted.

 

UK election?

UK local election?

Or as your in France did you atleast do you local or national?.

 

Atleast one or more of the above is a minimum!.

Yes, usually by means of an election.
You cannot just throw out an elected government just because some arse obsessed numpty and a few million Russian bots press a button on their phone.

It's beginning to look like you're inventing the parameters off the top of your head.

Make it simple, subjected to taxes and laws = entitled to an opinion.

How is that inventing basic parameters.

 

Just paying taxes entitles you to the benefits of that country and it's protection, non Dom's pay tax but can't vote as far as I'm aware.

 

Actually casting a vote entitles you the right to criticise, that's the simple thing.

 

People fought and died for that right, so use it or hold your peace until you do.

Jebus christ Mick, I vote in my elections.

 

Ergo I have a right to criticise, you DON'T vote ergo no right.
