What would the “Bernie Won” timeline look like right now?

<sarcasm> no, we voted FOR our own best interests </sarcasm>
Same answer as the other thread with the caveat it wouldn't have ever happened in a million years.
I'd be considered part of "his base" and this is completely ridiculous.
Yup. Seeing how his foreign policy would've turned out would've been interesting though.
Looking forward to the flaming hot Bernie Sanders takes in this thread. The man is one of the only progressives that has any kind of power in the States yet he's still dismissed by democrats who are desperately trying to hold on the centrism.
The Bernie Sanders timeline would show a man actually trying to make a progressive America. And I'd take that over the current white supremacist President and over any lame ass democrat that would try to appeal to "both sides".

I'm guessing some of it would have been similar to Trump but without the hateful, racist rhetoric. I think Bernie was behind the idea of "America First" but not Trump's style.
they broke up?
We weren't getting a single one with Mitch there under Hillary or Bernie.
Who would be passing these socialist policies considering that the House + Senate would be republican run for the first two years at minimum?
It would be exactly like star trek but the leaders of the federation would be Bernie and Elon Musk
There is no socialism. Sanders is a basic socialdemocrat and if he had any power (which he likely wouldn't) he'd cut military spending and raise taxes to fund healthcare for all.
Oh yes. Bernie has that long and documented history of bowing down for Billionaire CEOs.
He has the same amount of power as any other Senator. And he would have had the same amount of legislative power as Clinton, which is to say, none.
And as for your final sentence... https://www.resetera.com/threads/be...lack-candidates-not-necessarily-racist.79759/
Literally the same as with Clinton except for less investigations (but functionally the same).
Then the first time Sanders said something Trump-tier like "It's understandable to not vote for black candidates" that would be career ending because only one PotUS is made of teflon.

Much like my thoughts on the Hillary thread, what it would look like is:
- We wouldn't have an aspiring fascist dictator in the WH.
- Does anything other than the above really matter that much?

He made an absolutely shameful statement. There is no defending that.
His views are still better than just about any U.S. senator by a huge margin.
Oh come on man! He's not racist, he's just a racist apologist. Always people trying to keep the man who wasn't even close to winning a nomination down. Don't you remember the bird? Birds are better
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Like the Congress would've passed any Bernie proposal that would default the economy anymore than we are now.
The financial markets would be doing slightly worse, the economy would be slightly healthier and black people would be working in gulags.
similar to the clinton timeline but even more gridlock-ier and worse 2018 midterms. probably worse on trade as well.
it'd probably look like those most progressive president in american history hamstrung by a republican controlled house and senate
It's depressing to see a site that I thought was full of progressive allies be full of people who essentially support right wing views. The democratic party needs to be fixed to actually represent left-wing views and policies. Just being better than republicans isn't a winning platform.
Support people like Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez because they offer views that aren't entreched in conservatism. These progressives are important. Minimizing them serves only to further the current centrism in the DNC.

Bernie wins the election against Trump, and then everything looks pretty identical to the Hillary timeline. Deadlock, massive GOP Congressional gains in 2018.
Exactly the same as the Hillary timeline just with different actors
GOP with huge house majority. 60 senators heading into 2020
Maybe the only difference from Hillary would be more democrats would be actively running away from Socialism instead of somewhat loosely embracing some of Berns ideas

Sanders ain't perfect. Tariffs remain really stupid, and punting on gun control as an issue of importance just slides by without any calling him on it. The definition of "left" has basically been warped such that fring trade policies, bad stances on gun control, and massive racial blind spots suddenly don't matter anymore.
This is one thing that would happen but we would still be unaware of how extreme the bigotry is in this country.
Not happening. We already saw what happened with Obama and the Republicans already announced they would do the same same to the winning Democrat. We would go for 4 years without a Supreme Court Judge filled unless Sanders or Hillary forced the issue in a way Obama didn't.
