You're correct, specifically they engage in voter suppression. They will use every trick in the book to discourage folks from voting. They claim voting doesn't matter, they say both sides are the same, they lie about voting information and deliberately give incorrect information, and they exploit historical and ongoing injustices to make people feel like their voices don't matter.

The opposite couldn't be more true. Your voice and your votes matter, and the fact that they spend millions of dollars to convince you otherwise is proof that you have a voice and that your voice matters.
