My disappointments in rallys\protests like this:
-there no call to action. What are they asking me to do?
-there's no specific ask. Who are we asking\demanding to do what? I'd ask our senators to execute their constitutional duties and reclaim their legislative powers.

Final points.
You need to claw back the legislative powers you have abrogated over the years
Consider impeachment of the president for his unconstitutional arrogation of judicial and legislative power to himself
Taking a stand on these issues, you risk getting labeled an enemy too. Time to be bold

Boycott seems appropriate. You're not working your legislative responsibilities; you can watch a broadcast to prepare to respond to BS.

It's dirty politics analogous to blocking the Merritt Garland vote.
It reinforces the understanding that our institutions are rigged and manipulated by those in power.
