I was unsympathetic when the left did these sorts of things

Like it or not, be it good or bad, the left is/was good at coming out for their causes, swaying public opinion, grid locking entire cities, ending wars...etc. Some of their tactics were extremely effective.

I hear you. But "the effective thing to do" isn't the same thing as "the right thing to do". Even if it were I'm not sure that "went to the office of somebody who wasn't even in the state, demand to speak with them, and wouldn't leave no matter how much they pleaded" is effective at doing much more than making them seem like cranks. This may have been red meat to people already in our corner but I suspect it just seems obnoxious to others... to the people that we need to be bringing in.
