I can't complain My politically passionate friend was going on a rant about Trump's election. He was absolutely livid, and asked me what I thought. ""I can't complain,"" I said, nonchalantly. Incredulous, my friend shouted, ""How can you possibly be so cool about this? We just elected a misogynist to the white house and our state (Wisconsin) helped do it. How can you just say you can't complain."" I respond: ""No you misunderstood. I didn't vote, so I can't complain.""
