That is hardcore, man.

[NHI]

And the socialist pipe dream continues...

[Ljube]

He is crazy.

[All Along The Watchtower]

Good luck getting that through Congress.

Paid leave is something we need to talk about in this Country, though his plans might be a little too ambitious.

I agree, we need to become just like vastly superior Europe

[ProgressiveCanadian]

If we could afford trillions of dollars on wars we can afford this.

I agree, we need to become just like vastly superior Europe

Indeed, we need to become more like those homogeneous white countries.

Doesn't Sanders have Jewish ancestry, though?

Edit: Misunderstood from family leave to paid general leave, editing this post accordingly.

Paid leave equals mansions and money raining from the sky? Sense, it makes none.

Except Europe has a lot more and the countries we would be competing with in the 12 weeks range is Mexico and Iran, at least for mothers (obviously its less for fathers).

This is a good idea.

I should have clicked the tweet. That's absolutely fair and necessary. boschemble's extremely misleading title made me think otherwise. It's an embarrassment we don't have this yet.

Stupid thread.  He wants twelve weeks of paid family and medical leave, not twelve weeks of paid vacation a year for everyone like some are pretending.

The liberal candyland outlook of no hurt feelings and unearned promise has and will continue to always be a joke. A huge swath of independents would move to the Democratic party if this doesn't exist, it is easily the party's ugliest trait.

I can't help but think the orange text above may say more about the desires of the author than it does about anything anybody else is arguing for politically.

Yes, you broke the code, the font color and the joke do embody huge significance.

Anyways, post updated from misunderstanding.

Emperor Sanders.

Not really a misunderstanding, it's just stupid.

12 weeks is excessive. I think 4 weeks is reasonable.

How about 8 weeks? Meeting in the middle would be more moderate.

I misunderstood the post. 12 is fine.

Well put.  But you don't live in America, Canadian.  You don't understand.  We, as Americans, consider enslaving our populace to toil for crap pay until the age of 70 to be a VIRUTE!  Hard work (toils) is good!  PRODUCE PRODUCE PRODUCE, PEON.   I don't care if you or someone in your family is sick.  Just make do!  Mr. Boss Man can take 3 months off.  Why can't you?!
