I think I disagree with the topic.
The concept of advocacy seems deep in and critical to Western thought.
That is, it's not rare for people to deserve things they cannot understand, win, or keep.
For example, human rights in dictatorial regimes across our globe.

So, maybe, the topic would be better as 'People sometimes get the government they don't deserve.'
Gargoyle
in a democracy, people do get the government they deserve
that's the point

Gargoyle: You have repeated the topic/thesis.
I have presented a counter-argument for this cliche.
