Video of Bernie as Mayor of Burlington, Vermont in full and complete support of Jessie Jackson.

Following his lead, Bernie makes a change in his approach to independent politics. In 1988 he begins to attend Democratic caucuses because of Jackson's decision to run not as independent, but as a Democrat. In 2015 Bernie follows Jackson's lead from so many years earlier and runs for nomination on the Democratic ticket. I love this guy's passion and fire. I think he is one hell of a skilled politician. I'm so happy that he decided to work within the two party system. I fully support Bernie's quest to reform and reshape the Democratic party.
