Things without free will can also say yes and no. The issue of whether or not we have free will is not an issue of whether or not we say yes or no, or whether we want things, or can do the things we want, or even if we can choose things. None of those things require free will..and we do all of them regardless of whether or not we have free will...as do many other items and objects which can in no sensible way possess such an attribute.
Free will, at least in my experience in these discussions...is usually a euphemism for peoples ignorance of their own decision-making process.
If we;re willing to describe "free will" as...whatever it is we do....then "free will" means nothing in particular. It;s as free as a conveyor belt, and as willful as a toaster.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
