1. Shame.

[Cha]

12. Yes.. but he has

none.

[mcar]

2. That is some ridiculous hyperbole

[Cha]

9. Very Sirotaish.. no wonder he had

over 20,000 tweets to delete.

Thanks, mcar

[mcar]

16. Such nonsense

I want our candidates to have a vigorous debate about their ideas and policies. This Sirota shite is way OTT.

[Cha]

17. I know.. I want the same.

[lapucelle]

51. I think the adjective is Sirotarian.

or maybe Sirotesque.



Mahalo!

[Cha]

53. lol.. I like Sirotaish.

Mahalo, lapucelle

[lapucelle]

54. Sirotaish it is!

[sheshe2]

66. And...

What about that unity pledge?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287204476#top

[Cha]

78. Yeah, some enterprising

reporter should ask BS about that.

[sheshe2]

83. Great idea!

[wyldwolf]

40. will "death panels" be next?

[Cha]

48. Who knows?.. the more desperate they

are the more desperate it sounds.

[Vegas Roller]

3. Sirota's goal is to help Trump win

Just like last time


His boss' goal? If his boss doesn't condemn this --

[Cha]

21. It's typical Sirota..

he hasn't learned anything.

I think it's beneficial to expose what he's up to.. I never would have known he would tweet something so bizarre if it hadn't come up on two of my twitter feeds.

[comradebillyboy]

62. Sirota is Bernie's employee. I presume he doing what

Bernie hired him to do.

[Cha]

81. Yep.. right from the top.. the guy who hired him..

[Celerity]

4. Bernie is a fool to employ this fool, Sirota has the overall impact of a flee, other than to bring

heat onto Sanders.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Anything is better than TrumpDoesn'tCare

[Cha]

49. And, Biden's plan of Building on to ACA

is the best plan of all!

[emmaverybo]

6. Does not reflect well on Sanders that Sirota uses false advertising tactics and has to re-brand

the very popular healthcare plan Biden stands by and will improve on as was originally intended.

[sheshe2]

64. Exactly, emmaverybo.

Biden stands by and will improve on as was originally intended.

[Cha]

79. BS is exactly the one who's

in charge of these scare tactics.

[thesquanderer]

89. It seems no one here noticed, Sirota didn't write any of that.

You can knock him for passing it along, but they aren't his words. That's why they're in quotes. It's from https://www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2019/07/15/bidencare-system-will-kill-125000-through-uninsurance/

[SouthernProgressive]

7. I believe there are only two current campaigns...

Who would tolerate such bullshit from a senior advisor.

One is a Democrat running and the other is a republican.

[Cha]

80. This is coming from the top.

It's strategy.

[Otto Lidenbrock]

8. Bernie's campaign is still treating this as a run off vs Biden

Bernie is falling behind Warren, Harris and even Buttigieg in some polls.

If I'm on any of those three's staff I'd be saying..."let Biden take out Bernie and we'll take on Biden afterwards"

[Gustafo]

10. I assume he deleted this tweet

Unless he wants to attract negative attention to the Sanders campaign for comparing a health care plan to a terrorist attack.

[Cha]

11. No.. he seems to be proud of it.

I just looked.. it's on his twitter feed.

That's just who he is.

[Cha]

69. Sirota has Deleted it now..

see edited OP.

you called it!

[Cha]

82. Update.. the Tweet is back!

[betsuni]

13. Biden wants to murder us with insurance terrorism!

Sirota channeling Sarah "death panels" Palin?

[Cha]

14. That or he's channeling

himself. I don't think he had to delete over 20,000 tweets for nothing. This is so Sirota.

Thank You, betsuni

[RandySF]

15. Sirota convenienly leaves out the fact

that Republicans punched some large holes in the ACA.

[thesquanderer]

90. It's a tweet, not a dissertation. And Sirota didn't write it anyway.

You can argue that he shouldn't have brought attention to it, but it wasn't his article. It's from https://www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2019/07/15/bidencare-system-will-kill-125000-through-uninsurance/

[MustLoveBeagles]

18. oh dear............

Maybe Trump isn't the only one who should have their phone taken away.

[Cha]

20. Sirota didn't have

to delete over 20,000 tweets for nothing when he was hired by BS.

This is an excellent example of why, in my opinion..

Mahalo, MustLoveBeagles

[silentEcho]

32. There is that.

[NYMinute]

19. Sirota is scum nt

[Cha]

47. That's one way

to put it.

Thank You, NYMinute!

[highplainsdem]

22. Desperate and pathetic.

[Cha]

73. BS' Scare Tactics.

[Gothmog]

23. Sirota is not a reliable source

[peggysue2]

24. New Study?

Would that be the one leaping from Sirota's ass? And we're calling it Bidencare? LOL. No, douche-bag it's an expanded ACA.

This is the best the Senator from Vermont can produce through one of his mouthpieces?

Lame. Which means Joe Biden's defense of the ACA and desire to open and expand the program is worrisome to a certain campaign.

[Cha]

25. Oh yeah, it's "worrisome" alright..

the desperate 9/11 tweet is evidence of that.

Also this on "the study"..

Link to tweet

Thanks for pointing out it's the "expanded ACA", Peggysue!

[Scurrilous]

26. ...

[Cha]

27. I know.. it's

beyond the freaking pale.

[oasis]

28. The Joe Biden stamp of approval will go far in the selling of this plan.

Voters trust Joe. That's what 40 years of dedicated public service will do for you.

[Cha]

29. Yes and, Joe Biden is getting a lot of help with that..

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=201988

Thank You, oasis!

[DeltaLitProf]

30. Yeah, that's OUR Sirota

This jackass has had me blocked on twitter since I went at him over his attacks on HRC well into October and early November of 2016. He's one of the most prominent Lefty commentators who helped bring about the Trump presidency. Worse than Jimmy Dore, even, because the pieces he wrote for International Business Times were spread far and wide by bitter Bernie Bros, Russians and GOPers.

[Cha]

44. I know.. thank you for trying!

[silentEcho]

31. That is pretty shitty. Sanders surrounds himself with the best.

[Cha]

33. Doesn't he..

[ucrdem]

34. If Bidencare catches on we can all go home

Because 2020 is in the can!

p.s. take away Obamacare and what's left for Trump to run against? Indian casinos?

p.p.s. when does Sirota transition seamlessly to Team Trump?

[Cha]

35. Sirota runs on

This time he equated "Bidencare" with the terror of 9/11. Once again exposing why he had to delete over 20,000 tweets when BS hired him.

While BS' other hire Nina Turner is trying to label Elizabeth Warren a "copy".

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287202635

Guess that's why he hired them.

[ucrdem]

36. That's really comical.

Bernie wants to eliminate your health insurance and let Trump provide a replacement but Biden's plan is dangerous. Yeah that makes sense . . .

Sanders: 'You're damn right' health insurance companies should be eliminated

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/436033-sanders-youre-damn-right-health-insurance-companies-should-be-eliminated

[Cha]

37. oh god..

Bernie Sanders opposes House bill to strengthen the Affordable Care Act.

38. Let the walk-back begin!

[Cha]

50. Or Double/Triple Down!

[wyldwolf]

39. Memorieeeees.... light the corners of my mind....

David Sirota - still a tool after all these years.

[Cha]

41. Nothing learned.. nothing's changed.

[SouthernProgressive]

42. There is no room for doubt, the orders came from the top. It's sick.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287203332

[Cha]

43. I knew that.

Thanks.

[Politicub]

45. Sirota: "OMG tHis Is EQuIValenT TO A Lot oF peoPle dYINg!.1iS To bE unaCcEPtaBLe."

Stuff like this is why Bernie isn’t growing his base of support.

[Cha]

46. I agree.. they never learn.

[still_one]

52. Thanks for exposing this Cha

[Cha]

63. Thank you for helping,

still_one!

[applegrove]

55. Vs. The 24,000 that will die a year with Trump's and the GOP's non plans.

That is 240,000 in 10 years people if we don't beat Trump. Biden plans on increasing the medicaide opt in and increasing other subsidies to obamacare. He can win it all. Bernie may not.

[applegrove]

56. Info on Biden's plan:

Biden's Health Plan, building on ACA, here, apple!

[applegrove]

58. De rien Cha. I've struggled with who to support but i think it is best to

be practical. Biden is the obvious best bet against Trump.

[Cha]

59. We'll see.. I like Biden for

the job for his experience and qualifications.. just as much, as it now still looks like, he'd be the best against trump in the swing states.

If I wanted someone more for Prez I would go with them.. but right now it's Biden and has been for awhile.

I know things can change drastically but I'll cross that bridge when/if it comes.

Mahalo, apple!

[applegrove]

60. I also think his gaffes might play well with the swing states in the 2016

election Trump's made him seem more 'of the people' or non elite. This is all aside from Biden's vast experience, communication skills, personability, down to earthedness and and fine character that i admire. I panicked when he seemed rusty. But he did great in an interview last week. Plus the way he looked at Kamala when she wound up her attack on him regarding busing, when she began to explain she was the little girl on the bus, he stared at her in surprise some said. I think it was full on compassion for what she went through as a little girl. I miss that in Obama and him. In the height of an attack on him he found salience in the just right most important thing.

[Cha]

61. Yes, I didn't mention it.. but you so eloquently

reminded me that.. also one of the best reasons I like Joe Biden is his humanity and all around niceness!

I like nice people.. I got used to that with the Obama-Biden Admin, too. Thank Goodness so many of us appreciated them every single day while they were in Office.

Most of the time I don't even think of them as "gaffes".. it's just what detractors like to pile on whether it is or not.. it loses its potency after awhile. Yeah, Biden's not perfect but he has the whole genuinely, compassionate, and empathy persona going for him.

Thanks for your take on what happened on the stage with Harris and Biden..

I think it was full on compassion for what she went through as a little girl. I miss that in Obama and him. In the height of an attack on him he found salience in the just right thing.

[sheshe2]

65. What about that Unity Pledge?

If the “unity pledge” is to catch on, the majority of Democrats, who do value civility and seek common ground, must impose their will on the party’s candidates and their hard-core supporters.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287204476#top

[Cha]

67. I think some of us

were wary of that when a certain candidate was being touted for being "the first one to sign it!!".

[Cha]

68. KICK FOR UPDATE!

[Princetonian]

70. Good. Sirota writes pure clickbait.

I never bother to read his stuff for that reason.

[Gothmog]

71. Arggh

[Cha]

72. Jeeze! I just saw his Tweet is back up!

[R B Garr]

74. K&R! Thanks for pointing out their scare tactics, Cha.

Comparing 9/11...?? WTH, really just desperate at this point. smh

[Cha]

76. BS is smearing with trump and 9/11 and

BS fans are calling out Biden for using "scare tactics"?

Project much!?

Thanks, RB!

[ucrdem]

75. Full court press to defeat Joe.

Isn't it lovely how all the deplorables put shoulder to shoulder to achieve their goal.

[Cha]

77. Yeah, But Joe Biden is

stronger and is reality based.. and they're their own worst enemies.

[Cha]

84. K

[Blue_Tires]

85. Sirota is trash

He was telling everyone to vote for Trump on twitter in 2016, and then he was pissing all over Dem primary candidates nonstop without ever disclosing he was working for Sanders the entire time...

That's why he completely erased his twitter history the week before he was 'officially' announced as campaign staff...

[Cha]

88. Exactly, Blue_Tires. Thank you!

[Gothmog]

86. I really dislike Sirota

[flamingdem]

87. Ridiculous! I know it's not advantageous for all

but I thank Obama and Biden all the time for the ACA. It was a BDF, considering what we're up against (psychopaths in power).
