    Yep, plus it helps build momentum for long term change and flips in the future if nothing else. Like Georgia was a solidly red state for a long time until it ended up gaining enough steam to flip

    It went from R+11 in 2000 to R+5 in 2008 to D+0.2 in 2020. If every dem voter sat home in the time between, there would have been no chance for that trend to start and there to any serious energy put into flipping it

    Conversely, it’s also why voting even in solid blue states still matters to ensure they stay solidly blue
