Bernie Sanders hires David Sirota as campaign spokesman

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Not a fan, but it's not like they're going to have enormous influence over his policies. I swear, some of you really are worse than the so-called "Bernie Bros" you love to cry about all the time, who are a small (albeit vocal) percentage of his supporters anyway.

Sirota isn't hired to influence policy, he is hired to do what he does best: use his social media presence and army of trolls to slander and defame Sanders' opponents.

So much projection. David Brock didn't stop at defaming Bernie, but has spent years defaming Bernie's supporters as well.

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.

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.

It's not even close to being true that most of his voters are young white liberal men.

Can we start a "Bernie makes me so maaaad waaaaah!" megathread? Or just a "[Democratic candidate] is literally the devil" megathread?

You're better than this.

Look at this forum and tell me I'm wrong. I'm hardly the one here who should be accused of posting something "beneath" myself.

You're veering into fhtagn-esque drivel man.

So you've got nothing to say about any of the points I made in my other post? Just another insult (I guess that's what it's supposed to be, though I've never gotten all the hate for fhtagn)? That's disappointing.

I legitimately didn't see your response sir. That said, I think uh... peenie_weenie's first paragraph summarizes my views on your post well.

Sirota is an inherently divisive figure in Democratic politics. That's his brand, and you'll have to cease worrying about anti-Bernie Bros for a moment and realize that this adversarial figure preys on the Democratic disunity you and I worry about.

Complains about divisiveness, uses the term "Bernie Bros".

LOL at the people who busted our balls five years now about David Brock (who didn't even work for Clinton's campaign) now saying that nobody cares about Sirota.

He was the head of a SuperPAC that coordinated with the Hillary campaign, so it's really not true to say that he didn't work for Hillary.
