are you questioning the effectiveness of protesting and gathering together to support/demonstrate against crucial issues and events?

Effective?

I doubt that McConnell is shitting his drawers in fear and re-examining his position.

Just my take.

if there are protesters. As a matter of fact he may even enjoy the fact that he's got the "Liberals" upset.
You're not dealing with a compassionate or normal person in McConnell.

Especially the part about not dealing with a normal person. He's a monster.

Our side doesn’t “intimidate”. We march in protest. We don’t carry guns to our protests, so how do you think we “intimidate?

Perhaps you’re thinking of the MAGATs who take assault rifles into Capitol buildings.

I think they should stick to protests near the government buildings. Protesting at someone's house I think is harassment.

The democratic party should have been dealing with this decades ago.

Instead we were racing to the center, which kept moving further and further right. We didn't run candidates, and let republicans run unopposed. We fired John Dean when he proved a 50 state strategy worked. We were too proudly identifying as the "herd of cats" party. We are our own worst enemy.

And now we would rather cower than show passion. The angry mob is what shows up at every turd rally. We can show passion without looking like them. We will be PAINTED like that regardless. FUCK 'EM.

Americans are ANGRY! Milquetoast gets more milquetoast. Milquetoast is WHY we are here.
