Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yet you're here talking about her. She's an actual traitor in a position of power. But sure she's irrelevant.
So, please…. Explain to me what makes her relevant. And remember- relevant ≠ popular.
The floor is yours.
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?
So I’m not allowed d to have the opinion that’s she’s irrelevant? She HAS to be relevant to me?
Cool.
Hey, if you don’t mind, I’m going to check with you from now on when it comes to these things since you speak directly for me on these matters.
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
She’s irrelevant TO ME. How is this not understood?

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
Not everything is an opinion. I don't know why people now days think they can argue anything by claiming it's their opinion. She has more power and influence than the vast vast majority of Americans. Whether you want her to be relevant or not does not change the reality that she is relevant.
She’s irrelevant TO ME.
Well, then edit your original comment because you are changing your tone real fast after being challenged. You know that you were stating that as a fact, and that you decided to call it an opinion when being challenged with facts.
Come on, we are adults here, it's obvious.
It’s a fact… TO ME. Get your head out of your ass and stop looking for an argument. This isn’t Reddit. Go find something to do.
That's not how facts work. People corrected you and you are being super stubborn. You are the one looking for an argument.
Have a nice day.
To me, she is irrelevant. I don’t give a shit about her. She is of no importances or relevance in my world.
I’m sorry this bothers you.
