A fair chunk will have come from US users. I would not be surprised to see a 20% drop in the end. Hope this goes somewhere for everyone’s sakes. And as always, avoid signing if you’re not eligible!

And as always, avoid signing if you’re not eligible!My understanding is you need to input identification data, like a driver's license just as an example, to sign. They expect *some* invalidating, hence aiming for over the million, but why do you think a "fair chunk" will be from USA specifically?

And I expect a decent chunk to be from outside the US because people are terrible at following directions when an issue pertains to them.

I feel kinda helpless as an American watching the petition grow. I wonder what would happen if an American petition got big, would corporate America kill it? Would it get traction? Idk...They’d let it grow to near 100% acceptance among relevant groups, then seed articles to split attention and truth, and then buy 60 senators for a bag of bubblegum and two dowels of string.

If you click on their instructions for different countries—Itally, for example—they have screenshots that show needing a document number like a Personal ID card.

So… when do we get to play Concord? I assume that’s what this is all about.

Idk...Does the US have citizens iniatives? This isn't just a change.org petition. In the EU (and a lot of member countries) theres a system for citizens initiatives, which have the same or similar legal weight as laws proposed by legislators. That doesn't mean the proposed laws get passed, but it does mean the people can bypass the politicians in order to at least get something onto the starting line.

No such thing exists at a national level though.

The old senators will think that’s a good deal.

But Trump started ripping it a part, and Biden pulled the plug on his first day in the office. And even then instead of being people driven, the US administration would choose what they want to address or not. For all the excesses of EU bureaucracy, there are plenty cases like this where it prevents politicians from ignoring people's concerns; they can still refuse to act, but at least the petition system forces them to go on record.
