How the contributions of Bernie Sanders continue to shape the world today.
Bernard "Bernie" Sanders is a prominent American politician currently serving as the senior United States Senator from Vermont. As the longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history, he has maintained a close relationship with the Democratic Party, caucusing with them in both the House and Senate. He ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in both 2016 and 2020. Sanders is widely considered a leading figure in the modern American progressive movement, advocating for policies such as Medicare for All, free college tuition, and a higher minimum wage.
In 1989, upon Sanders leaving office, Bouricius, a member of the Burlington city council, stated that Sanders had "changed the entire nature of politics in Burlington and also in the state of Vermont".
As of 2013, Burlington was regarded as one of the most livable cities in the United States.
In April 2016, a new political organization, Brand New Congress, was formed by former Sanders campaign staffers to elect congressional representatives aligned with Sanders's platform.
In July 2016, a Slate article called the Democratic platform draft "a monument to his campaign", noting his call for a $15 minimum wage and other campaign issues, indicating Sanders's significant influence on the Democratic platform.
In August 2016, Sanders formed Our Revolution, a political organization dedicated to educating voters and electing progressive candidates.
In November 2016, Sanders's book "Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In" was released, becoming a New York Times Best Seller.
Sanders is credited with influencing a leftward shift in the Democratic Party after his 2016 presidential campaign.
In February 2017, Sanders began webcasting "The Bernie Sanders Show" on Facebook live streaming, featuring guests like William Barber and Josh Fox.
In April 2018, an opinion article in The Week suggested that the Democratic Party is quietly admitting that Sanders was right, noting the increasing acceptance of his policy proposals.
In November 2018, the Sanders Institute and Yanis Varoufakis launched Progressive International, an international organization uniting progressive activists and organizations.
In 2018, political scientist Rachel Bitecofer wrote in her book about the 2016 election that the Democratic primary was effectively over in terms of delegate count by mid-March 2016, but that the media promoted the narrative that the contest between Sanders and Clinton was "heating up" at that time.
