If you don't vote you can complain. You still have that right. But, is it right to complain if you don't vote?
"But my vote don't count." If you don't vote your vote won't count.
Voting is an obligation. You must vote.
I'll make it easier for you to vote:

I didn't register in time.
So that means I can still complain, right?

I voted.
As south park put it best, I voted between the turd sandwich and the talking douche. Go politics, yay.

Tell me about it.
As a democratic socialist (though my uncle argues I'm closer to libertarian), it's kinda hard to find ANY political leaders who actually have policies that consistently match what I feel would be best for the American people, and even harder to find ones who I think are telling even the slightest bit of truth.
Besides, my choices even then would still get on a lot of people's nerves. After all, I STILL think keeping Obama in office was the best of a bad situation during the last presidential election, so that alone would make me pretty unpopular. My continued belief that, though not perfect, our new socialized healthcare plan is at least a step in the right direction would probably get me lynched in most places as well.

Politics, it gives me a headache.

I love people who complain
I love people who complain about the heathcare and things like it when they send their children to public schools. That is a goverment run instation just like the police.
In a lot of cases the only
In a lot of cases the only alternatives are homeschooling or a religious school that you may not agree with and you are still stuck with paying for the public school. Although while I was in high school there was a subdivision that sent a large portion of the students to a Catholic school, despite the families not being Catholic, the other choice was a fairly violent inner city school.
Voted Last Wednesday
Unfortunately, most of the sorry SOBs are going to win. These next two years are going to be worse than the previous. Maybe we'll learn by disaster.

think your vote doesn't count?
In Virginia in the last general election, the attorney general was elected on 167 votes out of over 250,000 cast. They only listen to you on election day, other than that it is business as usual. Get out an be heard!
None of the above!
The problem for me is it seems a lot of the time to be choice between bad or worse, or I really don't know who is worse. On top of which I feel like most of them are liars and I do not believe what they are saying. When they are not saying something that is circular and meaningless that is, which is a lot of the time.
When I have gone to vote I pretty much ended up not voting in the voting booth. I feel like I am just flipping a coin when I do. The only time I seem to have clear choice is when I absolutely hate someone.
I just feel lost, and like I am somehow making matters worse when I vote.
Does one more random monkey pushing one more random button help or hurt?

Then your only option is...
...to become a candidate yourself :-)
This way you will have at least one reliable person in the running.
In this case you should
In this case you should deface your ballat and post it anyway, they count these too.
No, there is no voting place anywhere in Moscow.
So, no voting for me.
PS: try to remember that there are countries that are not part of US of A. And there are people from those countries who have internet access (and yes, I'm on slow cheap connection of 30 MBPS, but I'm still able to access and use most of the internet ;-) )
Yes there is a international
Yes there is a international presence on this site but there is also a lot of American's on this site. I agree with the poster if you chose not to vote you chose not to complain. I personally did not vote because I did not keep up with the issues or the stances of people so since I could not make informed decision I did not. So I cannot complain about anything that comes from this election. That is fine with I am not a fan of politics to began with. Who wants anything to do with many blood sucking creatures.
I voted.
I voted for a bunch of people I don't want to see elected, but I don't want to see them elected less than I don't want to see their opponents elected.
Heinlein was right, there is always someone you want to vote against.
I voted today
the website link you had for some reason is not showing me the information for my district but another.
"Cortana is watching you!"
vote or don't complain
i did vote -- so i have the right to complain; and i am doing so vociferously. based on the
election results, i do not believe i (we) got the government i (we) deserve. i fear for those
who espouse nontraditional views or lifestyles.
