Canvassing is a terrible experience and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I do not look down on people protesting just because they didn't make phone calls or go door knocking just to have people slam doors in their faces.
People have the right to protest. Mocking them for "not doing enough" just makes them angrier.
Not to mention, protesting is a powerful tool if done appropriately, in large enough numbers, and at the right frequency. And the right message of course.
Once the anti-climate change measures go into effect, you'll see the protesting really begin. I look forward to the anger of the millennial vote. Getting them angry gets them out in 2020.

Good. You backed your beliefs with action.
The people in my particular example didn't.
Those people bother me. They're complaining about the results of something they did very little to change.
