I agree with this. They are always trying to drag in all this social minutia when we have a real problem with wealth disparity, our federal goverment being completely hollowed out, and of course healthcare. we have a lot of real problems to fix.

Many people who are benefitting from the status quo would prefer you to not pay too much attention to large scale systemic problems and would rather have you fight some stupid, meaningless side battle. Unfortunately, many of these people own the news outlets that are shaping the public discourse.
Journalism is interested in clicks and ad revenue. We can’t rely on them to go for the real problems when their chasing trend topics like a meth addict chasing the next high.
