Aggression is a sign of untested beliefs. If we have no prejudices against others then there is no reason to be aggressive, since we can assume that others are rational and mean us no harm.
In a rational society we can assume that we will not be attacked. The belief in (a priori) immorality is what often leads to aggression. Everyone is good unless they have done something which contradicts this fact. Since most people are innocent and want to be left alone, it is not appropriate that to vote should be a positive act. By default, the individual should be free of aggression. Being attacked should not be the default, it should only be when a crime has been shown that force is legitimate. The failure to have voted for a peaceful political party is not a crime. If other people have voted for a crime this does not absolve it.
Taxation is aggressive no matter how many of the population select a party that approves of it. Failure to resist forced collectivism is immoral because it enables the removal of choice from the individual. It is good to resist aggression.
