Political Issue Prioritization

I don't think people care much about this issue and will focus more on issues that actually matter to them in a functioning democracy. E.g. taxes, health care, crime, education.

isn't this kind of thing common in US politics? what makes this specifically actionable?

Which political issues? I'm honestly curious.

Good thing they’re focusing on this instead of global warming or voter disenfranchisement./s
