Here we have the king of libs himself admitting that his most erotic fantasy is to see democrats rally around a republican.

Democracy is when both parties are the GOP

They should actually throw a real curve ball, and prove that we’re not red states and blue states but the United States, by nominating Donald Trump Jr.

The “West Wing” and “The Social Network” writer suffered a stroke “in the middle of the night” last year. “There was a minute when I was concerned that I was never going to be able to write again,” he said.

After noticing he “was crashing into walls and corners” at his home and spilling the orange juice he was carrying to his office, Sorkin, 61, called his doctor. “You’re supposed to be dead.” A month after the stroke, the writer was slurring his words, had difficulty typing.

Nominate Mitt Romney

They're taking the piss at this point, yeh?

After the assassination attempt on Mr. Trump last Saturday, rallygoers pointed at reporters and shouted, “You’re next!” and Republicans in Congress and on television were blaming Mr. Biden and D.E.I. for the shooting, so it doesn’t look as if that terrible moment will serve as the healing event we’ve all been waiting for. But Democrats nominating a Republican could be. And when it loses the popular vote for the eighth time in nine presidential elections, the Republican Party can then rebuild itself back into a useful force for democracy.

Idk why that would make them change anything, especially when in this scenario a republican won the presidential vote. Or is the joke the dems are already republicans...

Is it the hundreds of thousands of people who took the time to vote uncommitted to protest our complicity in genocide that we should try to win back?

No, it's the Republicans we need to appeal to!

Surely Mr. Romney, who doesn’t have to be introduced to voters, would peel off enough Republican votes to win, probably by a lot.

Yes, Romney is famously super popular and beloved by all.

Does he want to aggressively raise the minimum wage, bolster public education, strengthen unions, expand transgender rights and enact progressive tax reform? Probably not.

Oh yeah, there's definitely a chance he supports those things. You can definitely use the qualifier "probably" here.

Besides all the other things, isn't Romney retiring from politics? The guy's only a few years younger than Biden.

Wonder if this is what AOC was talking about. and here I was dreading the democrats probably deciding it was Pelosi's turn, holy smokes.

When I'm in a stupid idea competition and my opponent is the DNC

Truly a beautiful mind. It should be scooped from his skull and put in a jar to be studied

So here’s my pitch to the writers’ room: The Democratic Party should pick a Republican.

At their convention next month, the Democrats should nominate Mitt Romney.

This is how you simultaneously get Jill Stein and Cornel West over the federal matching fund threshold

My step mom suggested a Biden/Liz Cheney ticket. She's a lifelong liberal.

The center keeps moving to the right to compete with fascists.

In a previous thread I almost posted the dems should run a Romney/Cheney ticket, but bailed on it cause it was too ridiculous.

In the studio straight up sorkin it

Comments are off which is a real shame.

My dad spun up some fanfic at the dinner table about how he "wouldn't rule out" that Barack Obama might convince Michelle to run at the last minute to save democracy

Before judging this idea I need to know how much cocaine he had when he thought it up

Heavy Whig Party energy.

I like it, let the 1854 party realignment begin!

So i started reading it but only one paragraph in stopped to get high because is he really gonna base his political thesis on "West Wing"? I know we make Harry Potter jokes n shit but i just can't take this. Is he for real?

Edit:

Related: didn't i just read some other liberal opinion the other day, also based on West Wing fantasy edging?

(Sorry if the link is shit i dunno how to do the privacy ones)

Edit again, (as i said i am high): Ok so if we get a third+ "West Wing" opinion piece in the best few days, would that imply a gentle push to get liberals to treat "West Wing" credulously in the way they eat up all the copaganda on tv? Joking/not joking, a nudge to get people watching West Wing and thinking that politicians are anything like that?

Eh.

We're gonna need a pithy, quarterback-style nickname for sorkin if he's gonna keep coming in clutch like this. Pure heat

I would like Sorkin to script a much more personal life changing event for himself

Alternatively, perhaps he could just shut the hell up for 5 minutes. The last thing I need to hear/see is the most libbed up libasses quoting whatever works of horror he's devising

arron sorkings hands need to be crushed so completely that he never picks up a pen again

Lol lmao

That would have been one hell of a punchline if it wasn't serious.

It's just as dumb as nominating garland to be a supreme court justice

Aww c'mon Aaron quit Sorkin on my dink while I'm tryin' to slomp, I gotta work tomorra

Everything is literally a saturday morning cartoon to these freaks. There are zero consequences, everything is about their fantasy land idea of american government. God sorkin is maybe the worst influence on american politics and this included Father Coughlin

This makes total sense of a Florida Democrat thought this up. Over here we put up Republicans like Charlie Crist to run for office as Democrats all the time. Now we can do it on a national level.

odious little fuckin worm i hate him i hate him gnawed by dogs fucking scum

Willard its HER turn
