Seeing how aid packages for these regions probably would have been passed a long time ago if Dems controlled the House, yeah, I'd say voting matters.

(…Aid packages? Why not just leave the regions?)

Define 'leave'. To my knowledge we don't have any significant troops on the ground in these regions (if at all). Leave as in, "leave them alone"? If you want Ukraine and Taiwan to no longer exist as sovereign nations then I guess 'leaving' is...an option, if a terrible one. Israel I guess we could 'leave', but frankly we're on the wrong side of that conflict and should be more concerned with stopping the genocide of Palestinians than arming Israel to do just that. Again, sending aid to the right places would be far more ethical than just letting authoritarians steamroll sovereign peoples.
