A free society would be one that is arguably wealthier, happier, and healthier, than an unfree society, and government interference against peaceful people is not only immoral but it's proven to repeatedly fuel bad results.

We have perpetually seen what shortcomings a centrally planned economy can foster.

If you don't hear someone advocating for voting for this piece of legislation or that, don't assume that they've never taken part in the voting circus. You sometimes hear people saying "I don't like complainers, people who just talk about what's wrong or bad, instead of getting out there and doing something about it... vote! or shut up" they argue. But some of those who've been passionately involved with the political system know firsthand how fruitless the endeavor can be. Maybe their life isn't enjoyed as much when they're scrambling for scraps in the political arena.

In order to solve a problem you need to identify the problem.

And there are still many who don't agree or don't recognize how the state contributes to a incomparable amount of violence and destruction against peaceful people. There are still many who believe the state is there to protect them and uphold their rights, and when individuals take the time to remind us and share information to demonstrate how that isn't the case, they are helping us to recognize the problems that we face.

It isn't about "just complaining" and a vote not cast is still a vote; it's an expression of zero confidence in the system. I'd say that's the wisest vote of all.
