the only proper thing to do when confronted with Aaron Sorkin is to shove him onto an airplane (his most hated place) so that he can receive a swirlie in an airplane toilet from a stewardess (worse than Satan in the eyes of Sorkin)

Serf posted:i lived with a guy who got really into the west wing around the time of the 2016 primaries. he went from being a relatively apolitical person to a hardcore hillary-was-robbed russiagate #resistance person after 11/9. the west wing rots your brain I'm not sure I would blame West Wing. Since Trump this is pretty much every person, apolitical or not. Even the die hard Republican lifers in every sec division were screaming it. It's call the trpm effet

If you asked anyone on the street ,left or right, for a picture of an elite liberal and they don't know what Sorkin looks like they would still describe exactly this

P sure The West Wing is the show where every problem is solved by the character we're supposed to sympathize with yelling "Have you no DECENCY, sir???" at the character we're supposed to hate and if you want to hear that all day just watch loving MSNBC.

Freaking Crumbum posted:lol what the gently caress was that even about it's one of those character arc things. at first he's all caught up in petty drama and angst bc he knows the Big Story but can't report it. but then he feels a surge of patriotism and understands that what's really important is not professional journalistic standards, it's LARPing as a troop so red-blooded americans can cheer for a US military action he explicitly and enthusiastically choses to describe as an premeditated extrajudicial revenge killing

It's also important that we think the stewardess is crazy and a bitch, because even after calming down into zen jingoism mode he still insults her.

And yet they will vote for the leopards eating faces party long after their face has been thoroughly eaten. And the reason is that they have completely bought in to the fantasy that they are temporarily embarrassed billionaires, when they finally arrive they will never want again. Meanwhile of course I will make a bib out of my skin for the leopard, and sell my teeth for food. My ship is coming in! No it's not, you're loving landlocked.

Some of them, sure, but a bunch of your R voters have no illusions about anything good happening to them, they're voting because they assume the leopard is going to eat their face (or already ate their face) and they are just hoping they get to watch it eat their (minority, lib, woman, gay, whatever) neighbors' face. Dems really need to recognize that about a third of this country only really responds to appeals to spite and anger.

Which is exactly why "civility" politics is bullshit and Bernie should be getting out there and being mad at the wealthy and powerful and getting everyone riled up with him. Spite and anger is the most powerful tool and using it against the people who have actually doomed us all will work

Warren seems to get it more than any of the other Dems, but shes clearly uncomfortable with really leveraging it.

Well, if she's elected, she'll definitely bail out the ruling elites with trucks full of taxpayer money when Trump's economy craters the markets, so she'll have plenty of anger and outrage to work with

Don't know if it was in this thread or somewhere else someone said this, but I'm perfectly willing to believe that the recent string of billionaries "speaking out" against Warren is them going "oh no, please, anything but ELIZABETH WARREN! ELIZABETH WARREN FOR PRESIDENT is the last thing we, the hated billionaire class, want!"
