Don't bother to vote? Then shut up

I'm absolutely fed up with everyone who has so much biased criticism, negative opinions, and closed-minded disparagement toward the three remaining presidential candidates. It seems that whenever a discussion concerning the presidential campaign takes place, someone in the group will get loud and begin to attack his/her candidate's opponent! In almost every instance, they cannot produce any positives that their candidate would bring to the presidency. The campaign has deteriorated to a popularity contest, like American Idol, or voting someone off an island.

Then, when they are asked for whom they voted in the primary, the state/local elections, and the last presidential election, I'm disgusted to hear them say, "Oh, I don't waste my time voting, it doesn't make a difference."

To all of you non-voters, who insist on shouting out your disruptive self-important opinions to us who do exercise that privilege, butt out, you've given up the right to have the floor in our debate.
