You probably have indeed lost the right to complain about that particular faction of politicians you voted for, if they acted according to how you can reasonably have predicted them to act. (e.g. in my own homeland I don't think anyone who voted for the Neonazi party has the right to complain about them when they predictably started murdering immigrants)

You should factor in that uncertainty before voting! Consequentialism, dude.
