What would Bernie Sanders have done if he had defeated Hillary Clinton in the primary?

Won, of course, but what else would he have done, sitting in the White House as our new ruler?

Share all your wildest fantasies and most sober cynicisms here, in this thread about an alternate reality we are never going to see.

And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss goes 8-8

President Bernie would send his single payer healthcare plan to Congress but the new slim Democratic majority would whine about means testing and tax increases and stall out, leading to a 2018 Republican wave election and the 2020 election of Ted Nugent to the presidency.

Possibly successful EOs to create a PAYE tax system to reduce the amount of tax gently caress-ups that happen/put the burden onto employers rather than employees for that stuff, and Berniecare, which would be like Obamacare but with a much more aggressive government regime in terms of arguing over prices. Possibly some kind of (very plausibly unsuccessful) attempt at reforming the police?

the instant he won the general the entire DNC would have resigned in protest in a really stupid attempt to own him, like the failed Corbyn coup, only to find out that nobody cares because nobody likes them

and then the elected officials in the party would have opposed him at every turn because a good half of them are total sellouts and shills and nothing would get done but boy we'd be real screechy about the neoliberals

we prob also wouldn't have weekly hate crimes taking place that'd be nice

I wonder if they would've given him the Nobel Peace Price just for having stopped Donald J. Trump from holding office. It probably would've saved hundred of thousands of lives, if not millions.

Now Hillary has more than just Benjamin Ghazi's blood on her hands. She'll also have to atone for every murder the orange man commits.
