Bernie learning from his 2016 mistakes by hiring his most toxic supporters onto his campaign His supporters were always the biggest turnoffs for his campaign. I like Bernie more than I like his followers.

None of these are bad decisions, centrist minded establishment Democrats are throwing hissy fits about nothing.

It’s not bad if Bernie does it.

Well that's not true, The story seems to be: "Progressive Presidential Candidate picks Media Savy Progressive Journalists to help him write speeches and manage Social Media" This is bad because?

The problem here is that Sirota tried to pass himself off as an impartial journalist when he had been working for Bernie this whole time. He also called critics of his articles "mentally incapacitated", "deranged", and "unhinged", which goes against the positive and policy-oriented campaign that Bernie is supposedly calling for.

What evidence do you have for him working for Bernie this whole time?

It's right there in the description of the article: "Faiz Shakir, Sanders’s campaign manager, confirmed in an interview on Tuesday afternoon that Sirota had been in an advisory role prior to his hiring on March 11. “He was advising beforehand,” Shakir said, explaining that Sirota’s informal work for Sanders goes back months, and was meant to be a trial period to see how the senator, who famously likes to write every word that he says himself, would work with a speechwriter." Not a paid staffer or anything like that, but he wasn't independent from his campaign.

You can’t cover the news if you’re involved in it. Full stop.
