That statement is stupid on so many levels.  First of all, complaining is an 
even less effectual way of influencing politics as voting is.  If I wanted to 
influence politics, neither voting nor complaining would be a tactic I would 
choose, and neither would anyone else capable of influencing politics.  On the 
other hand, If I'm not capable of influencing politics, then voting or bitching 
might be the only way I could retain some semblence of pride by pretending that 
my bitching or voting is influential.
