A little too late, no?

Not really, the largest protest in US history was the Women's march in 2017 a day after his inauguration, which I imagine they are taking some inspiration from. You could definitely argue that if these people did these same demonstrations against Biden for not stepping down and it forced the Dems to actually hold a primary it might have done something, but outside of that neither Biden or Harris was gonna win the election knowing what we know now. So I don't really think "a little too late" applies, these people wouldn't have been willing to protest Biden largely and are mostly doing this to show their disapproval for Trump and his anti women policies similarly to the last time. Obviously people to the left of Democrats will be protesting to show their support for Palestine and their disapproval for Trump for a variety of issues, but they will be in the minority as there are a lot less of them than liberals upset with Trump.
