2 part question. Boost welcome

If feds will kill to overthrow foreign socialist democracies, do you think they wouldn't also kill to stop socialism locally? Why?

How does that question impact your decision to vote?

If you believe in capitalist democracy, and that feds will follow socialist orders, maybe "always vote".

Or, "vote strategically" for local races or to boost an ideology into public thought.

Perhaps, "never", if it gives credibility, and there's no net benefit.

Other options?
