To not vote or vote 3rd party is a vote for Hillary, IMHO.

'Not voting' is a vote for no candidate's being qualified. Pick one and you're saying the system gave you an acceptable choice.

Remember - if you vote, you can't complain....

You're soooo wrong.

Failing to vote is a slap in the face of those who have given their blood and their very lives to give you that gift. It's a whining temper tantrum that you don't like the difficulty of the choice before you.

In its effect, a Republican failing to vote is like two votes for the Democrats. Your vote for the Republican candidate would at least cancel out one of theirs. If you don't vote, one of theirs goes unchallenged.

My version of your comment: Remember - If you don't vote, you don't deserve to live in the USA. You deserve exactly the government that you get, because you didn't care enough to exercise your beliefs at the ballot box.

Saying that "if you vote, you can't complain" is exactly backwards, and it's a stupid comment to boot.
