Fine, I'm sorry for having come off as tranchant with my previous reply, I'll be clearer.
I don't know if you are familiar with the works by Rothbard or other eminent exponents of the austrian school, but even if you are not, you will probably agree that, once you give to someone the power to make laws that you will be enforced to obey, they will very likely not act in your interest, but their own. That's human nature 101.
In my opinion, voting only strengthens the perception of legitimacy of the politicians, or, to reduce it to minimum terms, wastes the 30 to 60 minutes needed to physically move yourself to the place where you vote and then get back, without having really accomplished anything useful.
The most important vote is the one you do with your choices, for once getting rid of fiat and buying btc, and disobeying stupid laws as much as you can and as long as you can do it by escaping the imposed consequences.
Or, as Larken Rose says it, simply stop to believe in the superstition.
