(12,655 posts)who both support family leave. but since you asked, i support bernie for a number of reasons, but there are four that top the list
money is the most corrupting influence now in the political process imo as resulting from citizens united and seriously threatens our democracy. bernies position on this is well known.
another huge threat to our country is the transfer of wealth upwards. bernies position on this is clear too.
not getting into wars of choice but working with the world community to solve problems. again, bernie is not a hawk.
climate change... nuff said.
and for the bazillionth time, I SUPPORT FAMILY, MEDICAL, AND PARENTAL LEAVE. I do not believe i am an ogre for suggesting that some type of equivalent leave or benefit for nonparents is a nice idea.
and if you are that much of a bernie supporter, why not make it official and support him in the primary?
