Yes, I stand up. I helped to found a Democratic Women's Club chapter here and it's one of the state club's big success stories. We have an active Democratic Party and lots of clubs and caucuses. We phone and text bank, knock on doors, do GOTV drives, etc. That's what local parties do.
What we don't do it continually run down the Democratic party to make people believe voting isn't worth it. That's voter suppression; that's what I've seen happen from so-called progressives for decades.
