To be fair, there might be cases in local elections where it really would be for the best to vote for Dems, as well as (possibly) for like State Senate or whatever. For gubernatorial, congressional, etc. elections though, absolutely not.
I (usually unsuccessfully) blue in local/state elections because the alternative in my district is candidates handpicked by an evangelical megachurch that is actively importing like-minded people from the rest of the country so they can achieve an even tighter stranglehold on state politics.
