No, they shouldn't. They should vote with the seriousness of knowing what can be achieved and what is at risk, and not like spoiled brats who thinks expressing their desires is all important and the truly important things doesn’t matter or will just sort of take care of themselves.

what is at risk in this case is so grave, and by comparison so little is the value of what could be achieved even if what is privately sought is somehow obtained, that voting in anyway that does not help to avert the risk can be seen as nothing but the petulant squawking of the useful idiot in the service of the perpetrators who created the risk in the first place.
