I said to a friend today "Thanks Mr. Obama for the extra 40 bucks in my paycheck. It will definitely help me buy Chipotle burritos while we bankrupt Social Security."
Friend responded "You didn't vote, you don't get to complain."
My response: "I don't watch porn, am I allowed to complain about the porn industry? I don't murder people, can I not complain about murderers? Since when is there a barrier to entry in regards to complaining?"
I did vote; I actively voted for no one. In fact, I'd argue that my very act of not voting was in itself a complaint against the modern political machine.
