Then don't cry about the outcome.

Most people that don’t vote, don’t cry about the outcome

The one where I don’t vote and also don’t cry about the outcome. It’s all of you that vote and don’t get your way that do the crying

This reminded me of a skit by George Carlin-

“If I vote for dishonest incompetent people and they get into office and screw everything up, then I’m responsible for it. If I, on the other hand, did not vote, then I am not responsible for the mess you created that I have nothing to do with.”

It’s a pretty nihilistic viewpoint, but I do think there’s some validity to the argument that participating in a broken system is counter intuitive in some cases.

There are many excuses for not voting. Carlin was a comic genius..right till the end.
