I don't know better. So I won't pretend to.

Said poop, never.
They certainly can tell the government that they're fucking up, and they should if they feel that way. It's called feedback. If those in power feel the criticisms are unjustified, it behooves them to find a way to convey that to the populace. Don't forget that the whole apparatus runs on the faith or subjugation of the people.

I'm not so much saying you're wrong, but that I think you're failing to appreciate the full role of the populace.
