On Voting:
If you don't vote, you can't complain.
But, if you do vote, you can be blamed.

So, can a non-voter blame a voter for voting?...
Can you be blamed if it doesn't matter who you vote for because your state is going to go Red (or Blue) no matter what?
If you didn't vote, you can't complain about the outcome or about those who did vote. You have the right to vote, use it or lose the right to complain.
"If you didn't vote, you can't complain, etc..."
Incorrect!
Witness the complaints coming from non-voters that clearly give the lie to your statement.
One can choose not to listen to complaints coming from nonvoters, certainly -- but one hasn't control over who gets to complain or not. Unless one has a loaded gun, perhaps, and attempts to control complainants with the threat of violence.
Then again, said complainants might have a death wish.
Hmm...
