Sanders sure seemed to have the right mindset for most important issues. Would have loved to have seen that alternate reality in 2016.
It just shows how much the system is rigged. Less likeable and less popular Hillary sabotaged his campaign allowing trump to win. Even if Bernie did win and started making positive change I wouldn’t be surprised if he got whacked like JFK.
Unfortunately, I don't think that Bernie would have been able to make as much of an impact as he wanted. Congress is more responsible for long term changes than the president and Bernie's ideals are left of most of the Democratic party, so I don't think they would have been as cooperative as he/we would have liked.
Also, if he was elected, we still would have elected the oldest president ever. I'd rather our government wasn't a retirement home.

Most Democrat politicians are neo-liberals, meaning they are conservatives by all global standards.
We need progressives to take over the Dem party. If you are young and progressive, especially if you are in a shitty dead-end job, run for office. Do it. Local or national.
Sign up, go through the process, announce it for fun on social media. If nothing happens, it was a funny, enlightening experience. There is no upper limit to what can be accomplished if you actually start winning races, though.
