authoritarianism is when the common people exert pressure on those in power to abandon unpopular policies

democracy is when people keep their peasant mouths shut and do what I say

also tell me how twitter was so much better when the "good" billionaire owner allowed the government to secretly disappear content, hired a bunch of spooks to help the secret project, and got millions of dollars in government money to backdoor the letter agencies into controlling it.

i didn't say any of that willa, you are being weird again

Fun fact: Pattie Boyd, George Harrison's ex-wife who divorced him and married Eric Clapton, was the inspiration for two pretty good songs (Something and Layla) and two horrible songs (Wonderful Tonight and Wild Honey Pie)

ok she wasn't the INSPIRATION for Wild Honey Pie, a song with basically no lyrics; it just only made it onto the album because she was present during the meeting about it and said she liked it so it's her fault

Wild Honey Pie rules. Not a single song on the White Album's first (or first and second if it's the LP version) is a weak link.

:actually: that's not the whole sentence; the full quote is "now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York"

its meaning is the opposite of the typical usage and it has a bad pun in it

I remember it being a huge outrage when Trump signed all those "safe third country" agreements and also made it harder to get asylum if you entered the country without a visa. I think the Biden admin even let some of those agreements lapse right after he took office to much fanfare? And now it turns out Biden made it all worse. But he did it with Decorum, I guess. He didn't post about it on Twitter and bring attention to it.

I, a true sicko, would say that there are no bad tracks on that album, including Revolution 9.



"We're not going to govern by polls". :lol: Riiiiiight. In other words, you're going to continue not giving a poo poo what voters are screaming at you that they want done.

Looking cute, feeling cute.

loving lol, especially since Trump's economy was "great" up until COVID and all the credit they're claiming for is just COVID dying off. So have absolutely nothing to promote for their own administration beyond the waxing and waning of acts of god.

That used to be the conventional wisdom, but I don't know if it is true anymore. there's a chance that the model has flipped: Dems win with low turn out, because the new democratic coalition of angry libs and worried conservatives are the core "always votes" demographics, while dems have given up on the poor, the young, etc. Republicans win with high turn out, as the maga people are traditional non-voters

i can see biden squeaking by with the presidency in a very low turn out presidential because biden's core "scared of trump" voters turn out while everyone else doesn't gaf

as of 2020 it was still the case, obviously. it will be interesting to see if the polity has shifted at all in the coming years. i am thinking 2024 will be lower turnout however. really boring redux at the top of the ticket and nothing interesting (to my knowledge) downballot.
