Do the people you mention always vote? As a Yellow Dog Democrat who never misses an election, myself, I don't really influence the outcome. I'm just one of the predetermined Ds. The only person I know who is voting R -- an ex-boss firmly in the Trump camp -- is an equally reliable R, so we kind of cancel each other out.
Probably not. But I also live in Massachusetts, which hasn't voted Republican since Ronald Reagan.
I typically vote in every election. I think I might have missed a mid-term or two in the past couple decades. Maybe more than that, but I haven't missed a presidential election and I've always voted Democrat.
If we had ranked choice I'd probably be more into some leftist third-party, but it is what it is.
