Something like this has been my answer every time someone says "if you don't vote, you can't complain":
Ask most so-called conservatives if they're willing to go back to pre-New Deal America. The answer, shorn of its Clintonesque waffling, will be no. Therefore they are New Deal collectivists. No patriotic citizen of conscience will lend legitimacy to this farce by participating in their, formerly our, national elections. Punching the New Deal's ticket every couple of years has no upside. Stay home on election day, spend it immersed in some guilty pleasure or another, vote for "None of the Above" and luxuriate in unblemished righteousness thereafter. - 'Ol Remus and the Woodpile Report
George Carlin (who decidedly did not share Remus' politics) said something along the same lines, and both of them have often reminded me of something the Grand-Master once wrote: "Relaxing to the inevitable is not the same thing as stooling for the guards."
Voting only means you're part of the problem.
