What I've done (also being from a solidly blue state) is participate in volunteering for candidates in other states. I've phone banked, sent money (I'm on a tight budget so I normally send around $20 to several candidates in other states), and send emails to my friend circle letting them know which are the close races. They ask me for my input during the elections. Based on their interests, they either send money or volunteer in other ways.
I really, really invest time (I simply feel compelled to do so) in trying to determine which elections are winnable as opposed to spending their time and resources on candidates who don't stand a chance.
