    A Senate office that is literally just a Rules Nerd there to tell senators exactly how many norms and how much civility their legislative actions will breach but is literally an advisory position that can be straight up ignored and also literally outright replaced at the discretion of the majority party but the Democrats just pretend that isn't the case and throw up their hands saying "rules nerd says we can't govern sowwy" and somehow liberals don't figure out the trick and demand their politicians' blood

    Edit: also she's paid over $150,000 per year

        the real money comes after the public sector job, where you are rewarded with sinecures after you've shown you'll play ball

        That's the thing they don't have any power at all, they're like an assistant manager in retail basically. Their true function is to be a scapegoat/punching bag between the people with actual power and the public/workers.
