historically I have. Going forward idk, probably still will for local stuff. IMO it doesn't necessarily hurt to do it but I don't lose sleep over it either. Mostly for succdems or socialists if they're on the ballot.
Didn't vote for genocide joe because duh fuck that, voted for gloria la riva cause I thought it was cool she was on the ballot at all. Did vote for killary but I was a complete lib back then (tho I did vote for bernie in that primary)
Honestly my participation in elections is mostly like, a pascal's wager situation. I lose nothing by voting even for shitlibs, and occasionally I might gain something small, like a bike lane or better transit. But I don't spend unnecessary time on it, or advocating for the candidates because it doesn't fundamentally change anything. The exception is people I just can't stomach voting for at all, like Biden.
