    The word “gooner” has been diluted so much it’s not being used to describe basic words of attraction…

      The point being it’s obnoxious that discussions of any female politician at some point have to bring up their attractiveness. It’s completely irrelevant to the work they do. I can’t think of male politicians getting the same treatment.

        Buddy we have women “gooning” over Luigi Mangione, not a politician but his attractiveness is definitely not why he’s making rounds in the news
