i want to meet with the 5% that think creating a petition is "unacceptable"

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago

It’s me, because killing a politician is much more acceptable.

Maybe they think that doing anything but vote is undemocratic/undermines institutions or something.

Or maybe they're an ancap and think that the only way is to shoot a mctactical nuke into the privatized former public service.

6 % of people think it is unacceptable to call your representative. Half of those think it is not just usually, but always unacceptable.

Annoying as fuck and twice as pointless.

Petitions should be illegal

i think creating a petition is an unacceptable waste of organizing effort
