If you don't vote and have a good reason for it, you have every right to complain.

True - I didn't vote in one election because I was unavoidably away from home, and the postal voting form didn't arrive until after I'd left. It didn't stop me complaining.
I would dare say that most people in the US who don't vote do not have good reasons for not doing so.
But then to say people who don't vote don't get to complain, someone has to decide what constitutes a good reason.
I'd say the same for those who vote.
