By not voting, you have in essence, given up your rights to complain about ANY upcoming issue you don't agree with.
I have siblings that hadn't voted in the past and I told them simply:
If you don't like WHO is running, then at least vote for the referendum questions. You have to voice your opinion.
Whenever I hear someone REALLY complain about an issue, I ask them if they voted. If they say yes, I acknowledge it and let them continue (they earned the right to complain). If they say no, I just tell them to be quiet, since they didn't bother to vote in the first place, they really shouldn't voice their opinion now.
