I realise the US uses FPTP, but can someone explain to me why this comment is being downvoted? I’d think participating in the democratic process would be considered a good thing regardless.
It’s not as bad as refusing to participate, or voting for the downfall of democracy, but I don’t think it crosses into the threshold of “good”. Just “useless”.

Legitimate question: is there no benefit to voting for a party if they won’t win?
Do they get any future election funding or… anything?
If a third party gets at least 5% of the vote, they get a small amount of the official presidential campaign funds.
Despite what most people say, the only want you to vote if you’re voting for the person they support.
