12. Sanders Always Includes Women And Children In Politics
Bernie Sanders started his political life early but became more locally known in the early 1970s. During this time, women weren’t a huge part of politics and Bernie wanted to change this. While he went to meetings for the Liberty Union Party in 1971, Bernie brought his young toddler, Levi, to a meeting with him. In many other conferences, he included not only his children but also his wife. While other members of the party did this too, many viewed it as an unusual move for a politician.
