Be serious, here.
She has a large following for a Rep. She has a reddit sub dedicated to her. A thread here.

She is dynamic and garners a lot of attention. I don't think her views align with the majority of people in the party. But as the old guard ages out, you have to think she has the inside track, right?

She'll be in DC being a 8itch, 40 years from now the way Pelosi is now. All though I don't think she'll ever have the power that ol'Nancy achieved.

The Democratic Party has a sizable void in leadership right now. There isn't a strong, young, charismatic figure with any appeal to the minority and youth vote, like they had in 1992 with Bill Clinton and 2008 with Barack Obama. There is no voice who everyone is anxious to rally around. There is no excitement and no focused messaging other than being anti-Trump.

It's a problem that's been brewing for years. Republicans are following an immoral, self-absorbed, egomaniac .... but at least they have a clear leader with charisma, who their base is eager to support. Trump provides them energy and he is good at stoking their collective anger and resentment, and channeling it against Democrats.

Having immoral leadership is not ideal, but it's better than not having any leadership at all.

A lot of Republicans know Trump is an egomaniac but they tend to overlook it because he does act. He tries, sometimes mostly unsuccessfully, to follow most of his campaign promises; well at least he did until the Epstein stuff came around.

However, he also promises things that are also impossible like ended Ukraine War in a Day rhetoric. Both parties are guilty of that. Zohman in NYC is doing the same thing. Half his policies are literally impossible to implement if he wins.

Trump has never carried himself in a professional manner and that drives a lot of the TDS, as people say, and is somewhat understandable. One item that is very insulting that sticks out to me was his Easter Tweet going on about Leftists on a day that was about Jesus' resurrection. It was just uncalled for. The Epstein tweets by Trump are just down right bad as well and, frankly, make him look guilty.

Viva le Commas outside quotation marks!

I think it looks elegant within the quotations, and that goes for all punctuation marks.

The robber then told everyone to "hand over the money!"

Disgusting. Over the top. Garish, even.

What are your thoughts on semicolons? Are they vile too? Or do they maybe help assuage the darkness cast by commas and quotation marks?

I hate semicolons due to how grossly misused they are. As a concept, however, they are wonderful and one of the most versatile multitools in all of punctuation-dome.

There are caps in the NFL, that does not mean there is no free market system. Caps are necessary to keep a level playing field else you want to see the same rich team with the richest boosters in the playoffs year after year?



AI Overview

In the NFL, salary caps are a collectively bargained limit on how much each team can spend on player salaries,
according to the Patriots.com and the North Texas Daily. They were created to limit financial risk, preserve the financial integrity of the league, and promote parity between teams. However, salary caps do not mean there is no free market in the NFL.
Here's a breakdown
  • Impact on the market: The salary cap limits the total amount teams can spend, but it doesn't dictate how individual players are paid within that limit.
  • Player Choice: Players are still free to negotiate with any team, and teams can still compete for player talent through contract offers.
  • Competitive Balance: The salary cap aims to prevent wealthy teams from dominating the market by signing all the top players, thus fostering competitive balance across the league.
  • Player Compensation: Salary caps can restrict the earning potential of players, particularly elite athletes whose market value may exceed the cap limit.
  • Impact of Increased Cap: When the salary cap increases, it can lead to increased competition in free agency as teams have more money to spend.
In essence, while the salary cap imposes a spending limit, a form of a free market still exists, with teams competing for players and players choosing where they want to play, albeit within those established financial boundaries

That is a salary cap. It is not an NIL cap. The NFL players can choose any NIL(endorsement) deals as long as they align with league rules.

A cap is a cap and does not mean there is no free market at work. As far as I am concerned, the NIL has ruined college football and needs to be done away with, if not done away with, it needs to be capped to keep a level playing field.

Outside endorsement for NFL players does not effect the level playing field.
