BTW, part of the point of getting involved in primaries (in the U.S., or the equivalent elsewhere) is that it scares the people in power more than protests do. Protests have as a second-order effect that they might motivate some people to vote differently. Voting differently is the actual threat—the protests aren't.

What protests are great for is consciousness raising and community building, but there are lots of ways to do that besides protests that are less likely to get you arrested.
E.g., throw a party. Seriously.
