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.

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

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
