"If we are not careful and you don't elect me, this country will be to the left of France," says Rudy Giuliani. It's sort of hard to fully conceive of this, but we could elect Dennis Kucinich and 10 more Democratic senators and we wouldn't get anywhere near France. France is a country where the rightwing reformer won't touch the 35-hour workweek, where all sorts of powerful politicians call themselves socialists, where there's over a month of legally mandated vacation and unlimited sick days. Hillary Clinton, by contrast, just released a proposal to guarantee 7 paid sick days to all Americans. And for the Democrats, that's actually pretty bold!
