True, but let us give them the chance to ignore yet another petition and truly prove to us that we as citizens have little say in the status quo in the government that is supposed to represent all its people. More fuel for the fire couldn't hurt eh?
Besides it's summer time…
How many more times do they need to prove this to us? "Well, I know he punched me in the face, kicked me in the balls and raped my girlfriend in front of me but I'm still not convinced he wants trouble".
I don't know, but is it better than just getting up and leaving, since that doesn't really address the reach of the issues that confront the world today?
You don't have to leave if you don't want to. But your choices are to do nothing (which includes meaningless actions like online petitions) or get directly involved in politics. At this point I'd say there is literally no one to vote for, so if you want to change things you'll need to run yourself. If enough of us do that we could make a change. I see literally no other possibilities at this point.
