Voting isn't hard and costs nothing

People who don't vote have no right to complain about the government.

Arguments like yours are used by lazy people to justify non-participation. You aren't helping them by making excuses for them.

I'd say arguments like yours are why people don't vote.
They don't vote because people criticize them for not voting?
What are the demographics that don't vote and how do they compare to your current status (financials, privileges, etc) in life? Be data driven and get back to me.
