“[Trump] Went Down to #Georgia”

🎵A #GARunoff Musical Thread 🧵

(with music inspired by Charlie Daniels’ classic #GA fiddle song https://t.co/VxBwqkLq4E)

[Trump] went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a [vote] to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he came across this [woman]
[Makin' democracy] hot
And [Trump] jumped upon a hickory stump
And said,"[Girl], let me tell you what"(2)
"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a [politician], too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now you [make democracy good], [girl], but give the Devil his due
I'll bet [an election] of gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you"

(3/11)
The [girl] said, "My name's [Stacey], and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
'Cause I am the best that's ever has been

(4/11)
[Stacey], rosin up your [voters] and play your [democracy] hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny [election] made of gold
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul

(5/11)
[Trump] opened up his [phone] and he said, "I'll start this show"
And fire flew from his fingertips as he [dialed on] his [phone]
And he [called the Georgia Secretary of State] and he made an evil hiss
And a band of [lawyers] joined in, and it sounded somethin' like this

(6/11)
“All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have … And there's nothing wrong with saying that, you know, um, that you've recalculated.” – Donald J. Trump to Brad Raffensperger (GA Secretary of State) on January 2nd, 2021

(7/11)
When [Trump] finished
[Stacey] said, "Well, you're pretty [evil] ol' son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done"

(8/11)
"Fire [up the voters]", [vote], boys, run
The Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
[Perdue] in the bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny, does [Loeffler] bite? No, child, no

(9/11)
[Trump] bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden [election] on the ground at [Stacey’s] feet
[She] said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again
I told you once, you son of a b**ch
I'm the best that's ever been" [she] played (10)
"Fire [up the voters]", [vote], boys, run
The Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
[Perdue] in the bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny, does [Loeffler] bite? No, child, no

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]
