We get representation of who we are, bad people, bad representation, implying, good people, good representation. (Okay)
We get greedy reps because we are a greedy people. (Logical, flawed, but logical)
He says he retains the right to complain because by not voting he did not create the greedy mess.
So, he uses his grandeur of attended spokesperson to imply he is above the greed.
Then he says his non-voting has "nothing" to do with the result.

Well, if you convince all the good people like himself and his attendees not to vote, they you get the representation of what is left, the greedy bad people.

And, to say you have nothing to do with something you had something to do with -- is wrong, logically.
