I think this can be the case, especially for local races where the most important issues may have little to do with the major tenets of the national party platforms. But for this election cycle, I think even a minimally-informed vote for any not-Republican candidates will generally be better for society than not voting. The Republican party as it exists today needs to disappear and be replaced by one or more parties that offer sane alternatives to the Democrats, though I despair of this happening without a major restructuring of our election systems.
