We live in a country where voting is not compulsory; choosing not to vote is one of the privileges we share.

I think it means, you have the privilege to not worry about whether there end up being Supreme Court justices who totally outlaw all abortion, or create racist literarcy tests to vote, or any of a number of other things.
