Yeah sure, but signing costs nothing, as does emailing your representatives. a couple of clicks doesn’t hurt the movement. If these petitions do anything, they at least recruit people who would never pick up the phone. Someone who signs today is statistically more likely to donate, march, or contact a rep tomorrow, it is an entry point to being part of a movement and you don’t grow a movement by telling casual supporters their first step is worthless.

What I’m trying to say is, there’s no reason to burn down the recruiting tool that brings the next ten thousand people into the fight.

Also I just want to add that this blue wave can have geopolitical ramifications, there is a real chance of change right now, a number of proven signatures allows immigrants, non-Americans and youth below voting age to still sign, amplify, donate, and potentially organize other movements in a way that could spark meaningful change.
