      Considering she’s on multiple committees and was instrumental in putting McCarthy into place, I wouldn’t call her irrelevant.

      That said, this particular bill will go nowhere.

          She should be irrelevant but unfortunaltey she’s a member of congress and has more power that 99.999% of people.

          Yet you’re here talking about her. She’s an actual traitor in a position of power. But sure she’s irrelevant.

              Popularity is relevance in a democracy. She has influence over millions of people. She’s an elected federal official who sits on a bunch of committees in Congress. Her shitty opinions on things like the debt ceiling helped bring us to the brink of a financial crisis. How is that not relevant?

                  Hey man what you’re missing is that “relevancy” for elected leaders is objective. Her votes and committee positions do, in fact, objectively matter regardless of how much you or I personally disregard her.

                  You’re having an argument based around a misnterpretation of that concept

                  So much hate… They are saying that she is relevant, you are saying that she isn’t without providing any proof then shielding your statement as an opinion after posting it.

                  Come on

          How is someone with legitimate power irrelevant? Ignoring her won’t make her go away.

              Being an idiot and a traitor does not make someone irrelevant. Do you not know what irrelevant means? No one with real power is irrelevant because they can wield that power in a relevant way.

                  Yes, I know what irrelevant means:

                  “not connected with or relevant to something.”

                  This has nothing to do with her popularity. This has to do with her power. She sits on committees. That is power. She can unseat McCarthy any time she pleases. That is power. Power makes you relevant. Always. You can be incredibly unpopular and still be relevant if you have power. See: lots of autocrats.

                  It really sounds like you might not know what irrelevant means.

                  Saying she’s irrelevant implies nothing she does matters because it won’t have an effect on anyone. At the best, she shifts the Overton window, at worst she finds a way to get legislation through that strips the rights of millions of Americans.

                  To say she’s irrelevant means that everyone should be able to ignore her indefinitely with no consequences, and we’re saying that’s simply not the case.

                  Lets you, me, and MTG go to D.C. and vote on legislation before Congress.

                  Who gets to vote?

                  Who is irrelevant there?

                    MTG and you are. See how this works. This is my opinion. Learn what that means- then stop arguing with people over it.
