Yes. Total agreement. As a lifelong and proud democrat last night's "response" left me shaken with disappointment. The rules of engagement have changed utterly since 2009. The democratic "leadership" is flighting the last war. I honestly don't know what the right response might have been, but I think AOC and the other few who skipped out entirely, had the right idea. An effective response would have haven every single democratic attendee standing with their back to the podium, and/or all walking out of the chamber, at once, by the hundreds, in unison. Or - as you suggest - Al Greening, every 60 seconds, until they're all outside the chamber. Whatever response they made should have been coordinated and unified. The actual response was an embarrassment.
