Enough already with telling people they are being distracted. [View all]

First of all, people have the capacity for multiple concerns.

Secondly, there is a massive amount of horror taking place. The looming tax bill is obviously a major concern. Meanwhile, we're long overdue for a national conversation and legislation regarding sexual assault, institutional racism, gun violence, etc. We need to be talking about how boys are raised in our society, the power problem, police brutality, access to guns, mental health, climate change, and so much more.

Hopefully everyone has a passion and can dedicate time and effort to fulfilling said passion. But that doesn't prevent anyone from also being concerned about and taking action over a separate issue.

Lastly, what's posted on DU has little to no bearing on what events/actions take place. Guess what, the vast majority of people have never heard of DU and don't give a rat's ass what gets posted here. And those of us who are familiar with DU have lives away from DU. So, get off your high horse and stop telling people they are being distracted because there are a lot of posts on DU that aren't about your #1 concern.
