"Not my circus, not my monkeys" is a common enough east-european expression. "I don't have a horse/dog/rat in that race" is a common enough western expression.
There's plenty of precedent for "I am complacent, and thus, uninvolved. I offer no opinion, neither support nor hindrance."
But that's not what we get. We get "complacent" as being actively supporting. And when you're actively supporting, you don't get to pull the "lulled into complacency" card. Most companies make no secret as to their political affiliations. Most politicians don't hide that, either.
To reference another current "hot" post, with Cards Against Humanity, it splash-pages to say "hey, if you buy our product and you live in these listed states, all proceeds go towards killin' babies." IF YOU THEN BUY THEIR PRODUCT, you're directly financing it, you're making an active choice to fund that. It isn't complacency, they're directly informing you. It's a choice at that point.
