If you are eligible to vote and do not vote, then no, you should not complain. But, if you could not vote because of your age or legal status then I suppose you can, if and only if you participate in civic affairs.
I personaly feel that it is not enough to just vote, but to actually get your voice heard through civic participation.

i do no longer understand that crap the two. once I turn 18 a pair years in the past i replaced into so excited that i ought to vote. My chum complains appropriate to the government each and all the time and once I asked her if she voted she started out yelling at me asserting there's no element her vote would not count sort for something. i think of she thinks shes a lot smarter than she particularly is.

Well you should have freedom of speech. You make a good point though. Although George Carlin made an interesting point too, if you vote to put the bad leaders in power you shouldn't complain, so he doesn't vote.

Allowed, you ask???
Seems that one action (voting/not voting) does not give OR deny a citizen the RIGHT to complain. . . this jaded colloquial phrase reminds me of another . . .
"Christians aren't perfect, they're just forgiven. . ."
I feel that one expression is about as valid as the other -
And re: what happens in government?
Whether one votes, or doesn't - really has little to no impact on the actual outcome (as was shown in the FL results).

Nope! Thats why I registered to vote for the first time this year. I got tired of complaing but also thought I had no right to since I didn't vote before.
Now I can complain the hell out of everything

nope, they didn't express their opinions when they had the chance, why should they get to complain now?
