"After finishing college in 1964 with a degree in political science, Sanders lived on a kibbutz in Israel before settling in Vermont. He worked a number of jobs, including filmmaker and freelance writer, psychiatric aide, and teaching low-income children through Head Start, while his interest in politics grew."[/quote]
He didn't work steadily during this time; he had a subsistence lifestyle, channeling most of his energy into the Liberty Union Party. He ran for office a number of times prior to winning the mayoral election. [/quote]

Is this supposed to make him look bad? He didn't make enough money for you? He was living a normal life and being a decent person. Perhaps he didn't work steadily because he was a single parent? I didn't work steadily when my kids were little either. [/quote]
No, it's intended to demonstrate his long-standing interest in politics. He wasn't a single parent, [b]BTW. Levi's mother had custody. [/b] [/quote]

They had an informal shared custody arrangement. [/quote]
Yes, and she had legal custody, correct?[/quote]

What is your point now? The courts routinely awarded legal custody to mothers at that time. She did have legal custody and they had a an informal shared custody arrangement.

[quote]He shared custody of his son in an informal arrangement with Mott, according to people who knew them. “She was around a lot,” Nancy Barnett, a friend who lived nearby, told me. Barnett called Mott “a pretty quiet, private person.” Sanders rented a small brick duplex at 295 1/2 Maple Street that was filled with not much furniture and not much food in the fridge but stacks of checked-out library books and scribbled-on legal pads. His son, who called his father “Bernard,” had an upstairs bedroom.

It was a factual question. Why does that bother you? When I hear "single parent," I think of the custodial parent. [/quote]
