Let's say we strive to vote according to our personal judgment. Should we vote strategically or not?

For example, let's say I read a post that seems marginally good. It has a score that's significantly higher than other posts which seem superior. Should I downvote the post to indicate that I think its score should be lower, or upvote to indicate that I think the post was marginally good?
