Bernie Sanders hires David Sirota as campaign spokesman

[libertpaulian]

Wait...THIS David Sirota?!

https://www.salon.com/2013/03/06/hugo_chavezs_economic_miracle/

or the last decade in American politics, Hugo Chavez became a potent political weapon - within a few years of his ascent, he was transformed from just a leader of a neighboring nation into a boogeyman synonymous with extremism. Regularly invoked in over-the-top political rhetoric, Chavez's name became a decontextualized epithet to try to attach to a political opponent so as to make that opponent look like a radical. Because of this, America barely flinched upon hearing the news that the Bush administration tried to orchestrate a coup against the democratically elected Venezuelan leader.

If The Bern gets the nomination, Drumpf will win in a landslide and will actually win the popular vote.

Its crazy to think that had David Sirota never been a journalist....Hillary would have won 2016 in a landslide carrying Utah and Texas

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.

Funny how others start calling Bernard as well

Just another day in the life of Bernie Derangement Syndrome

What is deranged is thinking that falling in the shower is a good thing. That's what a lot of Sanders supporters seem to believe.

lmao

Alongside other far-left dirtbag Briahna Joy Gray, whose also led the attacks against the Democratic Party and Robert Muller. How will Bernie Sanders gain admiration from the base if he seeks to collaborate with people who stand everything against our party platform.

Stand against everything in the party platform? You mean like private prison shill Harris or noted segregationist Joe Biden?

Please, explain how Harris is a “private prison shill”.

The same way Bernie is a “Russian plant” or Sirota a “Russian propagandist”.

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.

The ‘oil executive’ thing was designed to be a bit misleading tbh.

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 people are acting as if "campaign spokesperson" means anything other than "a person brought on to do 3-minute blurbs on cable news using the official campaign talking points". Many campaigns have dozens or even hundreds of these people, depending on the size and complexity of the campaign. I doubt Sirota is going to cause Sanders to lose any more than Katrina Pierson or Kayleigh McEnany cost Trump the Electoral College.

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.

Nah, this is just Yank, Lyndon, Monroe. et al coming up with excuses for their inevitable Trump votes next year.

Yeah, seriously. This is just something for Very Online people who are already seething with hatred about Bernie to complain about.

Nobody will care about this guy in the real world.

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.
