Its fine if people decide to not vote, but not voting basically takes away their right to complain about the policies of the winner. I mean, they still can complain and have the legal right to, but they had a chance to make their case via voting and they specifically chose to not do so.
Its like being offered a drink, specifically choosing not to answer, and then complaining later about how you did/didn’t get a drink you wanted. Like, you can do that, but you’re only making a clown of yourself if you do.
I am not implying any particular politician is any better than another, as I personally believe all politicians are equally bad just in different flavors. What politics people choose to participate in is totally their choice, at least here in the USA, but that comes with accepting that not participating in politics means you cannot suddenly claim to have a stake in a race you never participated in.

Not voting strategically is just about as useless as not voting in this system
