I do think this is highly variable by location. In some places there is active resistance by existing local officials to allowing new people to participate.

This is true. There is a Democratic Party of Jackson County, AL, although I don't know if or when they regularly meet. They *were* the ones complaining about the lack of leadership from the national party.

I'm sure there's a local Dem chapter that does Zoom meetings.
