You know we can do more than one thing, right? Like, it’s not one guy who has to go around arresting the pedophiles, fixing climate change, and establishing wealth equality. In fact, no one person is expert enough in all three to really be the person for the job!
We can do this all at the same time. Take a breath and stop getting in the way of something that is finally starting to see results.
Establishing clear priorities doesn’t mean that you can only do one thing, it means that if circumstances require you to choose one thing over the other, you have a well reasoned framework to make that decision even if you really want both things.
Also no one was saying, “we need to stop being mad about Epstein so we can focus on healthcare” they were saying “it’s a shame that people didn’t get as mad about healthcare as they did about Epstein when it’s clearly the higher priority problem”. It’s actually them advocating that we should do more than one thing, and that the fact that we’re only doing one thing is made even worse because it’s the thing that’s lower priority.
A lot of people are trying to deflect from the issue, even comments here, where have you been? They’re so desperate to get the world away from the topic that they’ll say just about anything. It’s very similar to the “why do we help refugees and not our own elderly people” argument that exists only to hurt foreigners and comes from the very people who get in the way of social safety net improvements all over the world.
Right now this issue has momentum, and since they haven’t been afraid of climate change all this time then it looks like the pedo ring is their weakspot. Why attack where their armour is the strongest when they have a gaping hole in it staring us in the face?
And as far as the topmost comment in the thread is concerned, a lot of people are that energized when it comes to the other issues. Sure it’s not MAGA folk, but expecting them to care about others is a losing game.
Really well? Most governments might show off one at a time but have you ever heard of a thing called a “department” and that there are several of them of them doing different things?

You say that but how well does governments handle multiple problems at once? In a perfect world we could but this world is far from perfect
