Gonna continue to vote for the least bad candidate in every election, even though the higher up you go, the less meaningful difference there is between your options. Voting is easy, though I certainly acknowledged that's a privileged position and I'm not currently being targeted with Jim Crow 2.0, and I get it's less easy for a lot of people. I don't think that voting is a ceiling on political activity. If you have the time and energy to do so, it should be a floor. "Just vote" absolutely isn't enough at all and again becomes less effective the less local it gets. As for voting third party, we're about 10 years away from that being anything but a spoiler/wasted vote. The binary choice people have, in practice, is an effect of our current political system and neither party wants that to change. "Break free from what the media tells you and vote your conscience" ignores the structural issues that are designed to enforce the binary and very few people are working on changing them. In terms of "don't reward dems with your vote or they have no incentive to change", that mainly comes down to tactics and what happens after Dems are a permanent minority. Which they may already be given the current redistricting.
