I am always surprised when I hear people complaining about the crazy Congressional bills or legislation passed on the local stage when they in fact did not vote. I personally feel that you forfeit the right to complain if you didn't vote to keep those you complain about out of office. Really it makes no sense - voting is a Constitutional right, and free by the way as my grandmother pointed out today, so why don't people just go out and vote, then talk all they want about the evils of governance. With the election only two days away, I am presenting you with your options: vote or don't. If you vote I promise not to call you an idiot or ignore you when you complain about the actions of the electorate. However, if you don't I will not stand for any remarks about elected officials, you should have voted when you had the chance.
I suppose after we reform the vote-complain system then we can work on the understanding of how government works when it comes to the White House and Congress. Beyond not voting but still complaining, I am even more baffled by those who contribute to the polls that have the Congress at 30% approval. I completely understand the 25% approval rating of W, but Congress is not at fault for not passing legislation to improve America. So far, this Congress has done a fine job, it's just unfortunate that the current President loves pushing the veto button.
Don't Complain If You Didn't Vote

I understand what you mean but I missed the deadline to vote. I can complain if I want to because even if I did vote I would vote for another party not just the 2 candidates. The others are left in the shadows. Someone isn't ignorant to complain, Everyone has a right to if they want to. It was their chose not to vote and sometimes those choses can't be helped.
Come to the darkside....we have cookies ;)
