Is any of that reason not to make a stand of some sort?
I agree with you, but fuck Obama. A petition is a middle finger to his administration.
Quoting: TheOriginalMind A petition is what it is, a petition. Remember when you were a kid and you asked for that toy so much, and your daddy said "NO"? Well, its the same case, the difference is that your daddy didn't had the means to buy you the toy, Obama doesn't have the will to give the pardon. Whenever you and everyone else realize that there's no way out of the system, inside the system, the sooner we will advance to a new, better world.You completely misunderstand the point of my posting this, and you are also making a pretty big assumption about my character. I've already said that signing this petition should be motivated by the desire to give the finger to the administration. Of course it won't be successful. Given this, there's no reason for you to think that I believe we can change this system from within it's current limits. In fact, if you do a thread and post search for my username you'll get a pretty good idea of where I stand politically. My sincere appoligies then. I do understand your point, to protest, to at least try to make our voices be heard, to make "they" understand that we are pissed. I do understand your(our) dander against the government. I just think that protests should not be made like this. Creating a petition or a twitter hashtag will do nothing. We have to do what the guys from OWS did, but intensified, with more people, tens of thousands more, we need to make the government bow to us, not the other way around. They are the ones working for us, not the other way around. Our voice must be heard, not the other way around. Our will should be done, and not... well, you get the point. Accepted.  I agree with you about the action that should be taken. I'd just say that all sorts of action should be taken. The regime should be bombarded from all angles - petitions, protests, legal challenges, shake-up of the party elite, voting in new politicians, everything. As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason to limit the kinds of action we take in our attempt to take back government. They're fighting without pulling their punches - so should we.
