TNH says it.

Damn, Teresa Nielsen Hayden says what needs to be said:

This is real political action. And if you’ll excuse me for saying so, if even a fraction of the effort some lefties put into personally gratifying but politically low-yield activities like petitions and street theatre were to instead go into voter registration drives, door-to-door canvassing, and get-out-the-vote operations, their causes would be in much better shape right now.

Politics is hard. Walking a neighbourhood placing doorhangers, and knocking on doors is not as glamourous as making giant Cheney puppets, but it works.
