21. Bernie Lost His Class Presidency
Bernie learned the importance of politics as a young child after learning about Hitler’s rise to power and killing over 6 million Jews, some of whom were Bernie’s family members. The first time Bernie dipped his feet into politics happened at his James Madison High School in Brooklyn, New York. Bernie ran for the presidency of his class but lost. Fortunately, for the Independent political party and his supporters, this wouldn’t make Bernie leave politics.
