No, because your vote won’t encourage investment in flipping the State. I agree that the current duopoly sucks. I was an ardent Bernie supporter and would very much like viable third parties. But, the DNC isn’t going to be looking at those third party votes. They need to believe that the Democrats have a chance of winning before they will invest in a State. If all they see are protest votes, then they won’t see a viable path to them winning and they will continue to ignore the State.
Ya, it sucks, but we really do need to just keep holding our nose and pulling the lever for the Democrat in the general election.
Using that argument, can’t you shift the needle even more by voting for someone more left than Biden?

Disagree. If many vote for an extreme eco warrior independent candidate then both parties will shift their policies to appeal to those voters.
Americans don’t need to vote for winners for their vote to count.
