Like I said, this post will piss a lot of people off. I’m reporting from the ground. The reporter from the Atlantic said she was shocked to find out that there weren’t more people asking about Epstein. I’m not.

It doesn't piss me off. I think it's important for candidates to be able to read the room. What's important to voters will invariably differ by what is effecting their lives, farming communities will be different than urban areas. Candidates should understand the voters enough to gauge priorities.

We *already know* the president rapes teenagers, but he has a 100% success rate on changing the subject. He won again.

I don't think he'll ever be held accountable, but we sure as shit should *try* to stop all the predators that got away with it and continue to abuse.

No, he won't. There's just so much more important right now. Like sustaining our democracy. FOCUS, people.

So a child rape industry is no big deal to the voters you’re talking to? Instead it’s windmills? Shoot this country into the sun.

Nothing? No response at all? You just think the rest of the country should give a shit about a group with such awful priorities?

I don’t care about the Epstein files because based off his character and personality I believe the victims! So he should be thrown in jail indefinitely along with every other sex abuser! And I think if we did that, then we would be able to fix a lot of the other problems more efficiently.

Those files don't really affect their lives. No matter who's names are in it. They don't care that trump will never be held accountable anyway...

I work/travel in Georgia-Florida & in mid-low, income areas & the concerns are data center land grabs, high energy costs, solar project funding cuts, FOOD costs & loss of farm/construction workers. The Epstein talk, if any, is zero seriousness & like 'did u see the netflix doc'

I think Epstein is important but all the stuff you mentioned is too. I think for the survivors, who’ve been ignored, the Dems are on the right side of this.

I'm not shocked. Ordinary people, whether rural or urban, care about what affects them directly. Sure, some might be shocked to know the real truth surrounding Epstein, et al. But until and unless that comes out, we care about prices, safety, jobs, and, for many, what's happening to our country.

Journalist need to multitask here. I realize the zone is flooded with shit but in every state and town there are more important issues that can be addressed. In Wisconsin, the fastest growing cheese market is going to deport most of their experienced workers. Someone needs to cover that.

Absolutely. Not one soul I know of cares about Epstein (nor do I for the record). But when I spent $400 at the grocery store yesterday, there was a crowd outside complaining about the costs.

Do you have any idea how evil that sounds? “Hey, it’s not my daughters being raped, let’s talk about my grocery bill!!!”

That fact that not one soul cares tells that America doesn’t get it. At all…. JFC Watching this is painful. Until you address the corruption nothing will change. Slapping lipstick on a pig again. It will take decades to get respect again. But ok….. 😣

People care. But not in the sense that they can do anything about it. We all know trump is guilty and we all know nothing will ever happen to him. But maybe talking about windmills and food costs and inflation and everything else might move the needle somewhere

Yes, the rubes will have questions about whatever they see on Faux News. Rather than just playing defense, we need to put the rubes themselves on defense. I want to hear more about how following trump is not about white supremacy, from the rubes. Make them say it out loud and hear it ring hollow.

People care about those girls. They care about the files. I have no doubt about that. But as you said, people worry about themselves and their families and that’s what they vote on. Right now those worries are financial.

Journalists are shocked whenever people don't care about sensationalism. That's where the money is for them, so it's hard for them to understand what people are paying attention to.

Exactly. The unhinged right-wingers who are obsessed with it are always over-represented in the media.
