He has lived in the states before. I personally think he is just overreacting too, just in the other direction. We should wait to see what happens tonight to draw real conclusions

So if Bernie gets the nomination and then goes on to beat Trump, what exactly are we expecting out of him? Radical proposals that no republicans and only half the democrats will vote in favor of?

I would hope Bernie would endorse down ballot candidates in like 2022 that would help him get his agenda through, if this is the case.

Also I just want the national conversation and demand for these programs to shift in that direction. Even if Bernie's exact proposals never go through, I want them to remain in the political zeitgeist

Expect the same as Trump. So executive orders that get challenged immediately and blocked by courts for years, little in the way of real legislation, 24/7 media complaints, and lots of political grandstanding, including filibusters on anything that can be filibustered.

You underestimate the executive power of the president. Just look at all the shit Trump has done without anyone being able to do shit to stop him.

Easy: he uses the power the GOP has established that the president can enact without consequences and avoid Congress entirely.

Yeah I had that suspicion also. Designated punching bag. It also explains why he was completely self funded and they changed the rules to allow him on the debate stage.

It's true that it's unlikely Bernie will be able to get all the stuff he wants passed through congress, but he might be able to get parts of what he wants passed. Besides, you can't just say "this stuff isn't possible" and vote for a conservative or moderate. You have to start somewhere

There's no reason to believe the GOP would be any more likely to go along with Biden's plans; they're busy trying to investigate him as we speak.

I think a crucial difference is in what Bernie won't compromise in order to "get things done." Biden's record is one of being willing to make cuts to social security and medicare, while Sanders has consistently opposed such cuts, even when the Obama administration was considering them.

The president has a lot of leeway when it comes to foreign policy; I think we can expect Sanders to be much warier about using force abroad than Trump or his opponents.

And I would expect Sanders' DoJ would work to swiftly reverse this

I dont think the movement is dead if Bernie loses. The issue is finding a new champion for it. Especially one with the exemplary qualities Sanders has (not talking politics),

  • Clean record despite being in politics for so long
  • Has fought for social change his entire life
  • Has always been consistent, and many things he has fought for have eventually become reality, even years or decades after he originally held those stances
  • Populist presence that can inspire a large base of small money donors instead of taking corporate/PAC money

Exactly

No more than Goldwater losing ended the conservative movement

We'll see new progressives and social democrats in the coming years

I think the leftist movement will still grow strong. Its galvanized so many of us young folk that it wont stop. People like AOC is proof of that. Hell, people like Cisneros who is campaigning out in Texas for a congressional seat is proof of that and shes even younger at 26.

This movement isnt going anywhere even if Bernie loses again

Yep it's not like if Sanders loses I'm suddenly going to say "well, I guess I better give up hope for healthcare, attainable education/self-betterment, and a healthy and clean environment". If they think a Sanders loss is just going to end this stuff they are sorely mistaken. I will support those things(and more) to the bitter end.
