Petitions like these are why I’m glad the government doesn’t listen to petitions. Who does this help? What does this accomplish? It’s asinine and petty. I really don’t want citizenship to depend on upvotes.
Despite how poorly thought out this one seems to be, I don’t think all petitions are bad. They’re just a check on how popular an idea is. Obviously there should be further research and input from experts before anything a successful petition supports can happen. For example, there’s probably a compelling case experts could make for the public interest in relation to another petition I saw referenced on here recently.
