Bernie Sanders returns to Vermont to ‘make no apologies’ for opposing U.S. wars by stableford
Nearly four years to the day after launching his first Democratic presidential bid in nearby Burlington, Bernie Sanders returned for the first rally of his 2020 campaign in his adopted home state. And Sanders used it to highlight his career as a mayor, congressman and now independent senator from Vermont.
The self-described democratic socialist led the bipartisan effort to get the United States out of the Yemeni Civil War, a proxy conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran. President Trump vetoed the resolution last month. The rally was a homecoming of sorts for Sanders. Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen, who introduced Sanders at his 2016 kickoff, introduced him again Saturday in Montpelier. Cohen is set to host ice-cream socials for Sanders in the neighboring key state of New Hampshire on Memorial Day.
Now Sanders routinely commands crowds three times that size at his rallies. His brand of progressive politics has become much more mainstream in the Democratic Party: Medicare for All, free college tuition, a $15 minimum wage and combating climate change are common Democratic policy prescriptions. Biden, like Clinton, voted in favor of the war in Iraq. In 2016 Sanders repeatedly raised that vote to contrast himself with Clinton; expect he will do the same with Biden this time around.
