37. Because of Bernie’s Socialist Belief, People Felt He Wouldn’t Stay In Politics Long
From the time Bernie Sanders sat in the mayor’s chair, he became open about his socialist views. For many residents in Burlington, these views started to make them uncomfortable with Bernie being in the political power seat. However, many of these residents also stated they weren’t too worried about his socialist views because they knew he wouldn’t have a political career for very long. Many of them felt he wouldn’t make it beyond being the mayor of Burlington. They never thought he would not only become a Senator, but join the presidential election years later.
