Yes, it may be that in some future election, Oregon will be a swing state. And if that happens, I will definitely vote for the Democrat for President. But pragmatically, it doesn't matter if I vote for Biden or not this year. Do you believe voters should behave pragmatically or not?

I don’t think I made a symbolic argument at all. I said that viewing your vote as meaningless because your state is safe is wrong because your state is safe proportionally to people not taking up your view that their votes are meaningless.
