Voting changes the name of the department. It doesn't change if the government wants mass surveillance.

See PRISM.



This is my Senator:

He may not be perfect on everything, but elect more people like him and it starts moving the needle. Or elect some more that are even more opposed to some of these things. It doesn't happen overnight. Change is difficult.


> Change is difficult.

I agree, though notice that the GOP/MAGA have and continue to make enormous changes. The difference is that they believe they can do it while others sit around talking about hopelessness and powerlessness. The only difference is belief.


> Voting changes the name of the department.

You're conceding that the name has already changed, without voting.

> It doesn't change if the government wants mass surveillance.

That can be prevented by Congress with enough political will.
