How about this: if you voted, you signed up in a system that says you're okay with the outcome of the situation.

How is that not true? "I did what I could"... sure. So did I.

But I wouldn't have been okay with either outcome, so I didn't sign up saying that after an election we'd all just be like "whelp, good game guess I should go back to brunch".

So here I am, having to go organize against ICE because of the shitty political system that you reify. Thanks, asshole. If you voted, then you're okay with the outcome- that's what it means to vote.

No it’s not what it means. Voting is using your small bit of political power to try and enact change.

Not voting means you’re fine with the status quo or others making decisions for you, you don’t get to just pretend you have no say in the matter.
