I've already stated how I'm voting, but I have a goddamn right to vote however I want and have an opinion about national politics no matter how I vote. Telling people not to complain is just another way of saying, "Be like me or shut up." Nope.
The Mighty Carlin (peace be upon him!) once made the observation that people who don’t vote actually have MORE of a reason to bitch: ‘I didn’t vote, YOU people did! Now I have to live with the lousy choices the rest of you fuckers made! It’s like you broke your leg and I get to limp for the rest of my life. Fuck you.’
