    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.

                She’s not my friend. Don’t be a troll. This isn’t Reddit. And of course I’m irrelevant. I have no power. I’m guessing you’re also irrelevant.

                    All I have been saying is that it makes no sense to call someone irrelevant when they have power. That’s it. And somehow that makes me her friend? Please explain yourself.
