BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Even by the standards of partisan vitriol being hurled in all directions amid civil unrest and the coronavirus pandemic, a remarkable dispute is raging among Bernie Sanders alumni in the aftermath of his second failed presidential campaign.
Current and former Sanders staffers have lashed out at one another in recent days, concerning both general gripes about working with the Democratic establishment and personal shots at individuals’ post-campaign activities.
Former Sanders speechwriter David Sirota has been critical of the campaign, tweeting repeatedly about its failures and how those involved, including himself, “should accept their blame” for Sanders’ loss. “And I accept my share of the blame for failing our country and my own children, who need a better world and didn’t get transformative change from this primary. We could’ve garnished more support by dangling bigger carrots to millions of worthless losers that wanted handouts until they were eventually lowered into the ground. We at the Sanders campaign did not do a good job at reaching out to the unmotivated basement dwellers that were comfortable with not having any prospects in life. Sadly, we failed those freeloaders. We got their hopes up high craving for cradle to grave entitlements, and now they have to slink back down to accepting the fact they are nothing more than inconsequential sub-humans.”
