More "sauce" on David Sirota

Last week, after blogging my piece calling The Squad as really The Fraud for embracing Biden's Ukrainian warmongering bill, I twice Tweeted the link to David Sirota and his latest online news site, The Lever, asking him why he hadn't said anything. I added more thoughts to the original piece as to my guess on why, and will expand further here.

I also called them out to talk about how Nina Turner is actually anti-BDS, per Mondoweiss, and otherwise on Israel-Palestine issues, walks back half her allegedly pergressuve walk. Stand by for ... nothing, in all likelihood. 

Sirota doesn't talk a lot about foreign policy stuff (including BDS, I think, judging from Sirota likely being part of the effort to whitewash Bernie's record on BDS and Zionism), from what I see on Twitter, and when he does, he appears to keep one foot inside the bipartisan foreign policy establishment box. And, since he said nothing about Nina Turner, more of the same. Google only returned less than 5,000 hits for "David Sirota" plus "BDS," and showing how little Sirota has said on it, and how crappy Google results can be at times, despite "David Sirota" being in quotes (in other words, to say Google must find it, and those aren't just reference quotes for this blog post) multiple Google hits among the first 10 didn't even have his name.

As for The Fraud? My guess is that as the descendant of "Eastern European ethnics," Sirota indeed keeps one foot in the bipartisan foreign policy establishment box on Cold War 2.0 stuff. Scratch that. He's actually Jewish. But, see below.

Of course, for all his callout of "Team Blue," Sirota IS Team Blue himself. Democratic candidate consultant, wife a Colorado state legiscritter, etc. He might puff Susan Sarandon on Twitter, but puff Jill Stein or Howie Hawkins? Not.A.Chance. And since, per that link, he thinks DSA Roseys are actual socialists, he'll never throw them under the bus. Also,  (Nor did he ever say much about Bernie not ever saying much about climate change.) And, assuming he still eyeballs being a candidate consultant in the future (and possibly the dubious two-hats ethics that involves, which he did with Bernie), he'll continue not to overly criticize anointed "pergressuves."

Update: And dayum, I never looked at Sirota's Wiki page before. Team Blue indeed! Worked for the devil itself known as AIPAC! And, per a DuckDuckGo search, tweeted about it, then deleted it. Per the Atlantic, that was part of a massive Tweet-scrub when he joined Bernie's campaign. Guess like Miami Gator Geoff Campbell, he thought that didn't look too progressive?  Oh, and went to high school at a tony private school.

So, let's call Sirota this: A suaver, more urbane, moderately more leftish-liberal version of Cajun attack dog James Carville.

And, I guess per Jack Nicholson, he couldn't handle the truth:

Bye, David.
