    What do you mean by “keep fighting”? How are you fighting?

    I’ll tell you what I’ve been doing these past months. I signed the petition to bring forth a ballot measure to institute instant-runoff voting in Oregon. When it was placed on the ballot, I was actively talking to everyone I knew to convince them to vote yes (the ballot measure did not pass). I donated $50 to the campaign of Janelle Bynum, who unseated Republican Lorie Chavez-Deremer in the extremely competitive Oregon 5 constituency where I live. I helped my grandparents read through the voter’s guide and mail in their ballots.

    This isn’t intended to be a competition, I just want to know what your idea of “fighting” is.

      Most recently I sent postcards to my Democratic representatives expressing my concerns over the coming DNC chair election. (Postcards are the most effective communication - short of cash anyways. It used to be letters, but security threats have made those less desirable.)

      I have personal health issues with chronic sinus pain that really limits my social circle, but I do what I can. I used to donate more than I do now, partially because I’m unable to work, but I do still contribute to select progressives outside my district. Unfortunately, my very blue state rarely nominates actual progressives.
