Voting down ballot: Yay or Nay? (hexbear.net)

I’m able to vote PSL where I live, so obviously I’m voting for them, but other than that I’m thinking of leaving the ballot mostly blank except for some amendments I like. There’s like one Berniecrat-sounding guy running for state legislature I might vote for, but it seems like every damn local politician is some flavor of conservative around here. What do you think?

I didn't vote down ballot this year. I voted in the primaries for the candidates that seemed to have good policy and all lost. So most, if not all, of my entire ballot was full of unopposed Democrats with shitty views and policies. TBF I also didn't research if any 3rd parties were running in those elections, but I doubt it. Also just feels like its harder now since they (the Green or PSL) didn't have ballot access locally, even though I've seen them in the past.
