You are happy with someone who actively tried to bring down Hillary Clinton in the days leading up to the general election from his platform as journalist?
Cheebo being waaay over-zealous on his attacks on Bernie doesn't make hiring David Sirota not a firebomb. Guy was literally spreading FUD and more effective in stirring up resentment against Hillary than most actual Russian trolls.
Everything comes back to 2016 for some people instead of policy
She doesn't like Clinton and lives in a state where it would go blue regardless and she decided to use her voice to send a message. This bend the knee to the party regardless of whether it makes a material difference is kind of toxic. The dem party does not deserve loyalty. I'll choose to base my assessment of her based her policy positions which from what I see are really good. Don't know much about Sirota so don't really have an opinion on him.
Never claimed otherwise, DS is a total hack. Don't use this as an opportunity to wag your finger at Bernie supporters and shit on them for the nth time this week.
Huh? I dont remember anything about Kamalas Town Hall ratings. I think youre confusing me with someone else there. As for Beto I already said congrats to him. If everything was on the up and up, good for him. I'd certainly be interested to see the number of donors and who they were though. I guess we'll probably get a number eventually.
Only Bernie fans that deserve to be finger-wagged are those who are spinning the DS hire, David Sirota was partially responsible for electing Donald Trump.
Cause Bernie supporters never finger wag. Comm advisor's an important job, not really something you can say "Oh it's nothing!"
Don't you think Bernie hiring someone like that speaks to his character? As a Bernie fan why are you ok with him hiring these people?
I'm happy with Sanders, and Hillary can get fucked. If this Sirota guy wrote some bad stuff about her during the general election, I'd agree that'd be a shit move.
You are attacking a strawman here - I'm not okay with that, but I'm also not okay with equating Bernie supporters to MAGA stans, demeaning and shaming them and then going "See?! These people can't be reasoned with!"
Explain David Sirota who worked hard to help defeat Hillary in the general election and spread conspiracy theories about her in the days leading up to the election.
This turd who voted for, what, I'm guessing Jill Stein, is BS's national press sec?
Jesus fucking Christ.
Anyone who supports Bernie after his should feel ashamed of themselves.
Why do you think Bernie hired him? Don't you agree that speaks to Bernie's character to hire someone like him?
If as in I'm taking your word for it. Like I said I dont even know who this guy is and as far as I know I havent read anything he's written.
Here is one example of him spreading the conspiracy theory bullshit about the Clinton Foundation during the general election:
I have no way of knowing. But if I had to guess, I'd say it was because he wrote nice things about Bernie. Yes, that's enough to land you a job at a campaign even if you did engage in toxic behavior before. I mean, even Hillary Clinton had a whole bunch of hacky writers supporting her and her ex-staffers were talking shit about Bernie just last week or so.
He. worked. to. help. elect. Donald. fucking. TRUMP.
Even if I didn't like David Sirota. I'm a big fan of Briahna Joy Gray. I think she's a great addition to the team and is a strong supporter of every issue I care about. Let's also not let this news over shadow the fact of how diverse Bernie's team is right now - where a majority of his leadership team is women. it's truly amazing and a huge step forward.
Nah, this should completely overshadow it. He hired someone who worked very very hard to help elect Donald Trump. He was more responsible than a lot of Trumps actual advocates given how wide some of his articles reached on social meida.
Ok I'll agree that the timing is bullshit and that's about it. I imagine if he had actually cared he would have went after Trump during that time and not the democratic nominee, regardless of how much he may not like her.
Nina Turner is nothing compared to Sirota. Sirota did more to elect Trump than nearly any of Trumps actual advisors.
I can't agree with you. I think we're coming from very different places here.
You probably have. His tweets and articles are posted here all the time with an exceptionally misleading headline that doesn't stand up to scrutiny. And he also wrote positively spun articles about Trump at the same time.
Read the list of articles he wrote in the general election and explain to me how he wasn't trying to help Hillary Clinton lose.
