She’s irrelevant
Well she sure is making a lot of Lemmy users and democrats mad, so she must not be that irrelevant.
It's possible to be irrelevant and infuriating at the same time.
It’s possible to be irrelevant and infuriating at the same time.
But if she was so irrelevant, seems it would be tough to be infuriating. I mean, if she's irrelevant, then everyone could just ignore her. Right?
So you acknowledge that's what she does? Split the left?
I'm not acknowledging anything. I am saying she is making a lot of Lemmy users and democrats mad, so she must not be that irrelevant (which is what the poster said she was).
