That’s a cynical take. Thinking the President is the only office worth voting for, is inaccurate. Imagine what Congress can do, if every voter was diligent. The president can do nothing but toe the line, in that case.
Outside of a swing state, you can still vote on local and down-ticket candidates who match your values. You can vote on state propositions, like funding for public transportation.
Civic participation is like getting your voice heard. The more voices we have, the less extreme the country will be.
Sitting on the sidelines watching the country tear itself apart is not really helping anyone, in my opinion.
