Begging someone who does something bad (spying on their people in this case) to please stop doing bad things? That works?

Equating voting with begging is a serious false equivalency.

The government is made up of normal people. They get voted in by the rest of us. You can definitely change things if you dont like them, but you have to get enough other people to see it your way.
