If you're going to use that argument then you also have to accept that people died for your right to choose not to vote as well.
Also:
- People dont always die for the right things. Do I really need to give you an example?
- I, nor he, asked those people to die for anything. So, we should not be bound by any such contract.
- Those people were trained to die for the status quo (excepting revolutionaries and non-government troops). The fact that that may include representative democracy in some cases is a mere byproduct.
- You should not assume what individuals wanted to die for just to back up your own view of what people should do. I find that quite offensive.
