Here I disagree. If you played not part in the voting process, even if your candidate loses, you can’t criticize because you weren’t involved. At least by voting, you were engaged, not just along for the ride.
Americans are stupid and brainwashed. the electorial college votes and they can override the majority vote. If you called all of them last week and ask who is their vote for. then you know who will win. Your vote is meaningless but the govt brainwashes you in thinking your vote counts.
Having voted for a candidate doesn’t mean you can’t criticize that candidate once elected. I’ve done it many times. Bonus points if you’re criticizing him or her for breaking a campaign promise. But even if not, they should never be beyond criticism.

Vote because it’s the right thing to do even if you have to vote for the “lesser of two evils.” Though I’m so tired of it always being that way.

My favorite line from the band Rush: If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

“Seldom” and “votes”. An odd combination. He does vote, just not often.

Wrong – you gain the “right” to complain by voting. If you don’t vote, keep your mouth shut.

If you do not vote your opinion is worthless.
