You are correct in that the current state of US politics almost makes it the same thing. However it is possible that the US electorate could fix that problem over time.

Is that more difficult or less difficult than convincing people to stop using Zuckerberg's products?

But a change coming through the electorate process should have a more lasting effect as simply boycotting Facebook would merely shift the wealth and influence to another person instead of Zuckerberg.
