All the 2020 Dems continue to try and one-up each other, and Kamala Harris is really swinging for the fences with this one:
I’m proposing giving workers six months of paid family and medical leave. It’s the smart thing to do and the right thing to do. pic.twitter.com/PF0Rj1i3xU

It’s the “But wait, there’s more…” approach:
But wait…if you vote for me now…I'll give you 6 months of paid leave and an additional 3 months…but you must vote now. https://t.co/5uZqF1E1zL

Vote now and she’ll throw in a set of steak knives!
The 2020 Dem race is turning into an infomercial pitch.
Literal ponies are coming next. Calling it now. https://t.co/mWzINtdTxl

Nothing would be surprising at this point.
She’s pandering again…

It may turn into 12 months or longer when the employers can no longer afford to offer this benefit.

Weak sauce. Americans deserve at least 12 months paid leave as performing actual work for money is blatant exploitation. https://t.co/sNzfSqSyH8

That’ll probably be the next proposal, if not something even more aggressive.
6 months???!! Are you fuc*ing insane?? Or are you just pandering?

And maybe a moderator at the next Dem debate can ask Harris a fairly obvious question:

Paid by whom? Pure insanity!

Paid for by whom?

Where is this money going to come from?
— Ryan Anderson (@eternityablaze) October 7, 2019
And…. who coughs up the money to cover this cost?

Paid by whom? Pure insanity!
— Elfy Ganas (@ElfyGanas) October 7, 2019
Who is going to pay for that?
— MarianneT (@HappyTRUMPer) October 8, 2019
Being a caring liberal/socialist means never having to ask who has to pay.
You democrats have lost your minds!

And there’s still over a year until the next election.
