You're missing me here - inside our democracy I'm all for making changes and suggesting new policies, but do it in the way the founders of this democracy intended. I don't know how active you are in politics, but 1st and foremost, vote. I firmly believe that a persons' voter participation should be a requirement to participate in any rally. It doesn't matter who you voted for, but you should get something like a punch on your drivers license to show you voted. The only exception would be minors, since they can't vote yet. Next up, get behind a candidate. Go to the local rallies, participate in the local caucuses, go put up signs for your candidate - show your support throughout the election process. And then go vote again. If you win, cool - you were part of it. If you lose, show some class - you hear it from the mouth of the losing party all the time "....please put your support behind candidate xxx...."
I doubt our forefathers ever thought a born American would burn a flag at a rally, or that idiots like some these conspiracy theorists would act as stupid as they do. Sideshow antics are what end up on the news, not the responsible reaction to things you object to, such as a simple email to your senator.
I don't see how any of this is burying your head in the sand. I'm all for change, just some ways of showing what you want are more responsible and respectful. And out of respect for all those who have fought and died for our system of government and our land, all I'm saying is that doing it in a respectful manner has just as much impact as acting like a fool on camera and it making the associated press wire and broadcast around the world.
