@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng change.org petitions seem laughable & a waste of time. I hate them. Writing representatives that are either already against this shit or ignoring mails as they do not care or get too many also feels like a waste of time. Only thing is to really check for who you vote & there are campaigns that want to lengthen legislatures "so they are able to get shit done & not need campaigning all the time". No it's so they can sit comfortable longer in their nice position & get more money afterwards.

    @SomeAnoTooter@mastodon.online I agree to some extent, but voting is a long-term strategy, not a tactic. We need pressure and support livelihoods of SMEs right now, not in a few years. So of the comms tools available to us, writing (or better calling) your MEPs (and even local/national MPs) is likely the most impactful way...
