The Uncle has a modest suggestion.
On election day, when you show up at the polls, you'd get a card that says "I Showed Up."
You needn't actually vote, mind you.
You just have to get off your ass and go down there.
Then, anytime in the following year, when you're in a bar or at a party or wherever, and you bitch about the state of things, anyone there can ask to see your card.
If you have one, well and good.
But if you're flapping your lips but can't prove that you at least took the time to show up at the polls, the rest of us have the legal right to beat the crap out of you.
As I say, just a suggestion.
