  • It matters because the party has some methods of coercing a rep. to vote with the party (lack of access to the caucus, fundraising, joint marketing, etc). The switch removes that pressure, so I’d bet we’ll see her vote with conservatives even more now since there’s nothing for her to lose.

    And, most voters don’t know what a rep does, only who they caucus with, so this will really matter at the next elections (whereas staying with the Dems might have still allowed her to win if she got through any primary challengers).

    As I understand it, we got “caught” using too many u22 players and had to get rid of one. I think all the fans (and Ibarra) assumed it would be Sosa because he’s hurt all the time.

    Interestingly, Josef Martinez responded “same shit” to Ibarra’s IG post about it.

    If you don’t know, PRO (the company that handles refereeing in MLS) posts Inside Video Review weekly and it shows behind the scenes of video reviews that happened that week. Hearing the conversation the VAR team and on-field ref has is really interesting and I’ve learned a lot watching them.

    This week, the first review is ATLUTD with the trip of GG and why it ended up not being a PK.

    I might be down to hang out.

    I, too, have an odd career – mostly small companies, consulting, then real startups, and now a big company. And during all that moved from VB to C# to Ruby to Devops to pure Infrastructure.
