Early this year I found myself in a $3500 screaming match with my insurance company. To make a very long story short, they covered my visit to a certain specialist but not the diagnostic service performed in the very same office.

Once it became clear I was on the hook for this I thought to myself “Wow, maybe I need to re-consider Bernie Sanders who promises to make this disgusting system go away”.

Less than 24 hours later was when David Sirota declared himself the REAL victim of online harassment, not women who dare stand in the way of Bernie. I instantly realized that Bernie’s (almost certainly empty) promise was not nearly enough to overcome how much I despise his taste in spokespeople and surrogates. I would much prefer to risk another surprise massive medical bill than to vote to put people like Sirota into the corridors of power.

Seeing the widespread reaction to Neera Tanden’s announcement today from people like this with roses in their Twitter profile, I am very satisfied with my choice.
