and all I hear on MSM is about sexual harassment in the workplace. I'm not saying that this isn't important, but really, we have a madman in the white house and that needs to be front and center of the conversation until our world is safe once again.

So talk about both.

Planned or not, people need to focus on the more immediate concerns.
Harassment is not new, and it won't be fixed overnight.
Defense of our rights and freedoms under the rule of law in this ailing democracy which is systematically being destroyed by a madman and his lunatic henchmen should have priority.
All due respect to the women who have been wronged, but can we focus here people?!
If this Government goes down the way it seems to be heading, none of it is going to matter.
Look at these evil fucks, they are trying to normalize their abhorrent behavior and perversions in the name of Gawd and political party!
These idiots are in the population's minority, we need to put them in their place.

No offense taken, you do your thing, and I'll do mine.
Edited to add: The GOP has been robbing us, cheating, causing our deaths
and destruction for decades. But it is not every day women's issues come
to the forefront.
I think we can handle all of it.

These are important issues and the misogyny in our culture needs attention but the way it is being covered right now will not lead to change only a dismissal of the importance of the issue
