CT, surprised at you!
Your comments always seem wise and fair, even if I might not agree with your viewpoint.
But, as ubiq already told you, saying you can’t complain if you didn’t vote is utter nonsense, especially in the US.
In a parliamentary system you might have a point. With our electoral college system putting power over the military and the economy in the hands of one person who possibly did not even receive the majority of the votes of the electorate in his country- you are just plain wrong.
To misquote a famous person, the canard of every man’s vote counting is the opiate of the masses.
(For those who don’t quite get it, I’m not suggesting anybody with the legal right to vote should not vote. Vote, but do so with your eyes open.)
