Perhaps not, but there's no harm in making sure the Epstein scandal doesn't get pushed out of the news cycle by distracting topics like this until the files are released.

How many topics on the front page are not the Epstein file? Should we complain at all of those posts? It's ridiculous. I guess we can't talk about the genocide in Gaza either until the list is released. This is the problem with the "but this is not the topic I think is important" argument. One could make a counter claim against their preferred issue with any other important issue. How dare we even bring up the Epstein list while a genocide is happening? ...would say someone who doesn't want the Epstein list released. Shoe horn arguments are only used by dishonest people. "No topic can exist by my topic" is kind of a ridiculous claim.
