    OK, but OP mentioned a Red state specifically. They want a more nuanced answer than “vote blue just in case”.

    Assume a state so red, Trump loving and Biden hating that there is no possibility of a blue win. Is voting Biden in that particular state still the best strategy for the future of the USA?

      There is never no possibility. Florida is considered a red state up there with texas and gore lost to it from a florida court decision on hanging chads.

        Florida wasn’t a red state, more democrats have won than Republicans in Florida. It’s the past few years thing that the racism is taking hold quickly.

          that just shows a state can change and it can change at any time. enough folks could get fed up that with your vote the outcome is different. Politics is like the stock market. You can use historical trends to guess at the future but historical trends do not always indicate future behaviour.
