This is a Great Question...
I am sure there are alot of different opionions on this.. Heres mine
No, there are laws against it. But, I do think it is in bad taste and also very ignorant for someone to sit around and ***** and Complain about the government when they either are to lazy, or just dont care to vote.
It only takes a few minutes to go to polls and place your vote for both local and big government.
I get very disgusted when I am around someone who talks about how stupid the Pres. is and I asked them "who did you vote for?"
" Oh , I didnt Vote.. I didnt like any of them.... WTH?
One of them is going to be our President so you should look further into each canidate and find one that you can agree with on most subjects..
Anyway... Sorry to go on about this ..
Thanks for the great question.

Sometimes (as was the case in the previous election) there aren't any decent candidates running. You should always have the right to complain whether (or not) you took the time off of work to wait in line and cast a meaningless, and statistically insignificant ballot.

They have a right to give my vote, my wife's vote, and my daughter's vote (when she's old enough) more power.
SSsshhhhh! Let them continue to "not vote"!
They have a right to complain. If you stop them from complaining, they might DO something about it. Complaining is their outlet to avoid that.
Again: SSsshhhhh! We have SANE people in office for the most part. You want these people to start running for office!?

Sure look at it from their side. If they don't vote for either side, then you can complain about what both the democrats and Republicans do since you have to defend either side. Hay you didn't vote for them why defend them?
And they always have the out of.! "Don't look at me I don't vote for them." No matter what politican is being gripped about at the time.
Anyway I think that is how they look at it.

sure, a two party system is not a democracy, it is an oligarchy. not participating in the oligarchy is the most democratic thing you can do. until multi party elections happen, and a system is in place like in Canada, where anyone can be the winner, even if you have no connections or oil pals, or suck the teet of a foreign PAC. you have the right to complain.

That would be great, wouldn't it? Unfortunately we can't tell who did and did not vote. I find that those who complain the most, by the way, are the ones who don't vote.

Nothing in The Constitution or The Bill of Rights says if you don't vote you can't speak out.

You should always be allowed to voice your opinion, that is one of your rights. But if you choose not to exercise your vote, then your argument is empty.

I think anyone who pays taxes has the right to complain.
