10 is better than what we have, but don't start with what you are willing to negotiate down to. Start strong and be willing to compromise if that is what is needed. I don't think mandatory minimum days off is a controversial issue except for the ruling class.

Who are you giving advice to? I don't think Bernie can hear you, and even if he could, I'm 99% sure he would passionately explain precisely why you're wrong and the methodology behind his decision.

I'm stating my opinion. I would love to hear why he chose the days that he did. I'm not saying he is an idiot or wrong, I'm sure he knows what he can get as he has been in the Senate long enough to know these things.

Fair enough, no further comments.
