...probably not in many other countries, either.

That is not to say we don’t need a lot of improvement. But, distorting facts won’t help.

He may be singling out maternity leave, not "general" medical leave, but even so I doubt it's as high as 52 weeks in most of those countries.

He throws stuff out and a large % of his followers believe it. Who does that remind you of?

I hope Biden exposes this junk.

Sanders should have dropped out if he is going to resort to desperate BS.

Again, improvements are neede, but not based on inaccuracies.

You'd think he would have someone fact-check this stuff.

would reduce the rate of producing Tweets by 73%.

Or in the case of Trump 100%.

It's absurd.

rejecting him. And supporters appear to be doubling down on his BS.

That is the point. I'll leave you to be inflamed about the rest.

— or any other candidate — lying to us to get it done, or being so unaware to distort truth.

ok

Bye

Not great is correct, and what is given is a pittance compared to other governments.

Have a good night.

He really should have people fact-check this stuff before posting it.

....the true facts?

That's not how it works, BeckyDem.

If he's going to give a list of countries that have 52 weeks of "paid medical leave" (anyone find it coincidental that they're ALL identical at 52 weeks?) the least he could do is provide the source of that information.

Lacking that, it leads one to believe that it's untrue.

Availability of paid leave 32 of 34 OECD countries guarantee paid leave for personal illness.oThe United States and the Republic of Korea are the only OECD countries that do not guarantee paid leave for personal illness.•Duration of paid leave:28 of 34 OECD countries provide at least 6 months of paid leave for personal illness.29 of 34 OECD countries provide at least 3 months of paid leave for personal illness.•Wage replacement rate

....26 weeks is half of 52 weeks, and 13 weeks is one-quarter of 52 weeks.

So where did that long list of countries with "52 weeks" come from?

I'll anxiously await an answer from you or, better yet, Senator Sanders.

Is that really the trouble, 52 versus 26, or 13? hmmm

You clearly don't have a problem with all of the errors in the data, but it makes the campaign look like they couldn't be bothered to fact-check.

Maybe that's why they can't figure out that the campaign is over.

...of paid medical leave.

Doesn't it bother you that he blatantly misrepresented (resisting saying "lied&quot the duration of paid medical leave?

Turning your comment around, 13 or 26 is NOT 52, that doesn't trouble you?

We are far behind, we guarantee ZERO. Private sector is horrible as well, far from adequate.

Why don't you acknowledge that instead of the "zero" talking point?

imo regarding the exact figures and why. 26 weeks, 13 weeks? Take the most conservative figures and we are no where near that.
If you really believe the United States now looks so much better with those figures, then please, feel free to enjoy your achievement in outing Bernie Sanders.

....for some reason you're unwilling to address that, so I guess we're done here.

Have a great evening.

do not have by any stretch of figures. Zero guaranteed by US government.

Have a great night.

That's their MO.

If only there were a way for him to make that happen. You know, a way to write down everything he wants done--and then a place where he can try to get other people to agree to do something about it!

Why is he always screeching about what he wants done, but never DOING anything about it himself? Sheesh, 30 years in DC, and you'd think he'd figure out how that works. Statesmen create legislation and then build the coalitions to get it passed.

Ah. Now I see the problem. Working with others to get things done. You can't just yell about wanting it and then yelling even more when people don't jump to obey.

Funny how that works.

I don't know why he thought posting incorrect data would help his cause.

We are way behind. Unfortunately the new bill doesn’t cover enough, but I blame the a Republicans for that.

...introduce a better one. Unfortunately that hasn't happened.
