Each generation needs to take responsibility, both individually and in the aggregate. If you didn't vote, you have zero right to complain about the outcome.

I will confess that I did not vote the first time I was eligible. The year isn't all that important now. But I've voted every single time since then, including primaries for the last few decades.

Vote! It matters.
