If you don’t vote, then everything bad our government does is your fault, and you don’t get to complain.

Irrational thinking from respected computer programmers.

I can't complain? Obviously, people who agree with the above have not heard of our freedom of speech right.

That right does not apply only to voters.

Henry David Thoreau never voted, and he complained a lot about government.

Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" essay influenced Martin Luther King who fought against oppressions enacted by politicians who were chosen by voters.
