Everyone has the right to free speech. We don't have to listen.
If you vote, then we do.
Voting shows that you're willing to be part of the process. Not voting shows that you don't care about the direction of your country. Only those learned in the process of democracy should be allowed to comment on it. If you've researched it enough to reach that point, why not take the final step and vote? Otherwise, it'd be like working your butt off all semester, but not writing the final or any of the other stuff. You know your schtick, but nobody cares.
Also, the government represents the voting people in a democratic state. Those who don't vote are just the sheep we herd and slaughter to our own will.
