Privacy is not an engaging issue. It isn't controversial to most people.
The problem is that our first-past-the-post voting system naturally prioritizes engagement over everything else. That's why our elections are always about controversy, and never about progress.
It’s unclear there is support for that. I’ve worked on privacy issues. Virtually nobody calls in support of them.
This, on the other hand, is a national security bill. Every elected I know is being inundated from both sides.
