Agree

No, spying on our allies severely damages our reputation abroad

This answer aligns with the concerns of many Democrats about the negative impact of spying on allies. For example, when the NSA surveillance of German Chancellor Angela Merkel was revealed, it caused a diplomatic crisis and strained relations between the U.S. and Germany. Many Democrats believe that such actions damage the U.S.'s reputation and trust with its allies.
