    I guess I still thought, Okay, my vote is largely symbolic in this election because I’m in Texas. Even if Texas went blue, I’m pretty sure my vote wouldn’t matter anyway.

That's not an argument against voting. It's an argument in favor of voting in primaries. I know most spots are going Republican, so in the primaries I at least vote for the Republicans who aren't juggling fraud investigations or campaigning for bathroom bills. (Bonus: I get to vote against Cruz twice as often)
