Outside of gun control laws, he hasn't really changed his tune much over his career.

He's an independant left wing senator from Vermont, gun control is the only issue he had to compromise over, he's not a democrat, he was not looking to push legislation or run committees, his whole political career is based on being an outsider, that's his image.
He has only had one issue where taking an unpopular position would hurt him at the ballot box, and that was on gun control and he flipped and flopped like a new caught fish.
