Mayor Bernie w/Branko Marcetic

For our first fore into legendary Vanquished member, Bernie Sanders we discuss Bernie's tenure as Mayor of Burlington with Jacobin writer Branko Marcetic. We talk about Sanders' unlikely victory, how he handled hostility from Burlington's establishment, what this all portends for a Mayor Zohran Mamdani and what the (as of yet) unmade movie about Bernie as Mayor would have been like.
