Bernie Sanders hires David Sirota as campaign spokesman

[Yank2133]

SCOOP @davidsirota, just hired as Bernie Sanders' speechwriter and senior adviser, has been quietly writing speeches and advising him for months without disclosing it but while bashing pretty much every candidate in the field:

Lmao!

"Warren is impressive, honest and in it for the right reasons. It is great that she will be using her platform to force the presidential campaign debate to focus on these issues."

And?

He tried to say Beto was getting his money from big oil. It was one of the most dishonest attacks I have seen in recent memory.

He is a hack.

How is he wrong? Beto did take a lot of money from oil executives.  Sirota welcomed Warren into the race despite her never having endorsed Bernie last time.

He is wrong because most of the money came from average/everyday people who worked in the oil industry. It wasn't coming from big time executives.

He didn't go after Warren, because she isn't a threat to Bernie in terms of young voters. Sirota went from saying Beto should be house speaker to Beto being the devil the minute there was some 2020 buzz about him.

Beto did take a lot of money from executives and maxed out donors.

And don't try to claim that Warren isn't competing for some of the same voters as Bernie.

They aren't.

Beto is an appealing candidate to young, liberal white men. That is a core demographic that makes up Bernie's coalition.

This is the pinnacle of Atlas caring about someone or something that literally no one outside of Atlas has even heard of.

It does matter.

Bernie has been preaching civility and then he hires two of the worst people from 2016. Joy is damn Stein voter for crying out loud.

For the most part, I thought Bernie has made some smart choices in terms of hiring. But Joy, Sirota, and Turner are hard to pills to swallow.

A lot of progressives have Bernie first and Warren second (at least out of the candidates polling more than 1%). And Bernie has a lot of support among minorities and women.

Bernie's main support comes from white, young liberals. I love Warren, but she isn't a threat to take those voters like Beto is.

That is why Sirota went after him.

Oh so now you drop the gender.  Most voters are white, and that NY poll showed that minority Democrats would be far happier with Bernie as the nominee than white Democrats.

No, I actually just forgot to type young, white liberal men.

Sirota’s attacks on Sanders’ political opponents under the guise of journalism goes back to 2015 - here’s a story that he wrote about Hillary Clinton (that wasn’t true) which then got picked up by many, including many Republicans, as a line of attack

Yeah, no big deal though.

The 2020 primaries are going to be a bigger **** show then 2016.

As stated these hires aren't going to more votes, but they are indicative of what sort campaign Sanders is planning. You already have some of his fans out there claiming that the Texas Democratic Party gave O'Rourke $6 million dollars to outdo Sanders' one day total which is a total lie since that is way over the limit.

Exactly.

Bernie has been preaching about unity the last couple of months, but then he brings in Sirota, who is one of the biggest ***holes out there.
