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

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.

Comrade stroke working hard yet again to deliver us the hottest takes

[-] catonkatonk@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

His previous work proves he didn't need the stroke to come up with this take.

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...

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Republicans, famous for giving two shits about the popular vote no-oil

[-] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

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!

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

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

Romney is most known for losing to Obama, why would anyone think he's a winner

[-] huf@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

biden finally managed to become president on the third try by standing in the shadow of obama. they still like hillary. they like losers.

[-] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

expand transgender rights

binders full of trans men
double entendre referring to romney saying he was progressive and had “binders full of women” to consider for positions, this is satirically positing he tries to court ‘woke’ voters by having binders full of trans men, the double part being because trans men who either do not want top surgery or haven’t had it yet often wear binders

joke 2 being ‘expand’ is used in quoted text, and as a spoiler this section has to be expanded

joke 3 is by over explaining the jokes so detailed that they are no longer funny, but so detailed that it loops around and becomes funny again

joke 4 being that it didn’t actually become funny during joke 3 so this is an anti-joke

joke 5 being that the anti-joke is so bad, it has actually become funny by this point

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

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

[-] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

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

[-] rayne@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] poppy_apocalypse@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

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

[-] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

In the studio straight up sorkin it

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Comments are off which is a real shame.

[-] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

When the Times has this level of ideological bullshit, they turn off the comments.

[-] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Dr_Gabriel_Aby@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Heavy Whig Party energy.

I like it, let the 1854 party realignment begin!

[-] vertexarray@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 1 year ago

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

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

the most libbed up libasses

You wound me.

So how long until Lin Manuel Miranda and Jack Black start collaborating?

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

[-] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

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

[-] newacctidk@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Red_Sunshine_Over_Florida@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.
