If you had no input into why something happened, then you really can't
complain about it.  That's pretty straight forward.  If your wife goes
out to buy a car, asks your opinion which you do not give to her and she
buys something you hate, you really can't say anything because she asked
your opinion, your ignored her request and bought the car.  She made the
decision that it was something she wanted because you didn't provide any
input.  If she had asked your input and you said you hated it and she
bought the car anyway, then you can say something about it.

Same with voting on an issue.  If you choose not to vote and a decision
is made based on voting that you decided not to participate in then you
can not complain about the outcome of the decision that was voted on
which you decided to be ignorant (the act or process of ignoring.)
