> If google fails its userbase If their userbase can actually tell that they are _being_ failed. I don't know that this is deliberate and not just a result of SEO and ranking algorithms, but if what we see is being influenced, how would we know, and how would we generate enough energy to actually have a significant number of people digitally uproot themselves in order to force Google to respond somehow? > they can switch to a different search engine in 30 seconds by opening a new tab. Individual users can switch search engines, but what about switching away from Gmail, Youtube, etc. that are all tied together? It's pretty difficult, especially considering you can't bring your network of viewers/friends/etc with you. > How fast can you change governments? Happens every 4-8 years and takes a few months.

Last time I recall the candidate that would likely have done well for us was cheated in the primary and then the minority elected a criminal with dementia. Before that we had an authoritarian who at least seemed to want to help the country even at the expense of our rights for 8 years. Before that we had an incompetent drunk for 8 years. Hows that hope and change working for us lately?

Yeah so switching browsers tabs takes 5-30 seconds and government takes 4-8 years and convincing approx 160 million people that this issue is the issue that matters more then the other issues they might consider when casting their vote. Pretty sure switching tabs is easier.
