    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.

                I’m not “butthurt,” I’m just saying you can’t be irrelevant and have power. That makes no sense.

                    Repeating it doesn’t make what you’re saying make sense. “Irrelevant” doesn’t mean stupid or wrong or a traitor, it means you have no effect on things. She has a big effect on things.

            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?
