I guess that makes sense but that seems so difficult to reach for a movement, can the meetings of EU leaders propose laws themselves or do they also have to get votes?
In the US for something like StopKillingGames we have a local senior that we can call and yap to and (in theory) they’d listen to what their citizens have to say and start the process of making it a bill, when then would become a law after a couple rounds of approval and editing before being approved or vetoed by the president.
There’s actually a children’s music video they played to all of us in school when we were young, it’s unironically a super good way to teach people about how it works, https://youtu.be/SZ8psP4S6BQ
If you hear people in US politics say “call your senator” that’s who they’re calling, they have some power over bills that can be voted out I think.
also, I’ll just add an asterisk to the whole paragraph as
-
I’m not a lawyer, I just have a basic highschool education so far, I might be wrong
-
the whole idea of a “justice system” and “laws” are kinda currently being thrown out the window?? i don’t really know what’s happening anymore.
-
also presidents can propose bills or something and skip the senior section I think?
anyways, it’s pretty interesting learning about how laws work over there. Seems so much more simple than ours :/
would you rather them do nothing? realistically for the vast majority of people they don’t care enough to do more than this, and it’s atleast SOMETHING to get the ball rolling
