Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumVideo of Bernie as Mayor of Burlington, Vermont in full and complete support of Jessie Jackson.
Following his lead, Bernie makes a change in his approach to independent politics. In 1988 he begins to attend Democratic caucuses because of Jackson's decision to run not as independent, but as a Democrat. In 2015 Bernie follows Jackson's lead from so many years earlier and runs for nomination on the Democratic ticket. I love this guy's passion and fire. I think he is one hell of a skilled politician. I'm so happy that he decided to work within the two party system. I fully support Bernie's quest to reform and reshape the Democratic party.

(5,204 posts)1. Jackson won the 1988 Vermont caucus with Sanders' help
Dukakis won the earlier Vermont primary, though.

to make as much sense on the issues as Sanders does.
