That makes no sense. If anything it is not voting that you have no right to complain since you did nothing to change things. If I vote X and Y wins, I have the right to complain. Or if X wins and does the exact opposite of what he said, I have the right to complain about them being a lying scumbag.

What a stupid argument. Newsflash, folks; we never lose the oppertunity to complain, regardless of voting.

If anything, you vote for candidate x, they win, then you keep your mouth shut, since you voted him into office. Even this is a bit too much to swallow, but certainly holds more weight than "na na na, I voted so only I can speak up."

Compulsory voting can f*ck off back to the myopic, and retarded mind from where it was born.

Bad politicians are elected by people who don't vote.

Same could be said about those supporting anyone.
