I think most commenters agree that voting is peachy, but the question is whether to support a real left-wing candidate or a centrist Democrat candidate.
When there is a two party system with an electoral college, not voting is extremely irresponsible because the alternative is a super fascist. I don't like Biden, but if voting for him keep Trump out of the White House, you absolutely do that. Heck, I'd prefer a literal pile of turd in the Oval Office than orange Hitler.
That doesn't mean you can't be politically active and support real left-wing agendas. Local elections are where you can make a bigger difference, because your vote has a greater influence.
If you actually care, you vote, vote at every opportunity, every single time. If you can't vote for a great candidate, vote for the lesser of two evils.
