imo Bernie probably would not have been a successful president even if he had won. Congress (including the Dems) would have fought him to the death

we'll never know though, unless you have a time machine, and if you do I'd rather use it to go break Eugene Debs outta prison and maybe kill Hitler on the way back

I used to think this was a thing that actually happened, but after the last 15 years I'm not so sure

hell, Bernie himself tried it a few times already. for example, he took a big public stand against extending the bush tax cuts and voters didn't give a poo poo

Yeah, Bernie would've been a boring do nothing president for 4 years. I'm glad we have Donald "kill all humans" Trump instead! Thanks The Democrats.

maybe you're right, but I can't think of any time in recent history that a "surely the voters will rise up and punish Congress for being bad" prediction has come to pass, even though congress's approval rating has been under 30% since 2009. people hate everyone else's Congressmen but will happily vote to reelect the shitheads in their own district and state - even in places that are supposed to be left-leaning, like California and NY

You seem very invested in this idea that Bernie would have lost, when in fact Bernie would have won. Also he is cool and good and Hillary is uncool and bad.

Just sayin'; as much as I'd have liked to see Bernie win, there are 3 things that stop him from rising any further in American politics.

Atheist, Socialist, Jew.

They don't do this for the simple reason that everyone hates Congress, but not their Congressperson.

Since we can't flip the table and vote them out as one entity, their reelection rate is like 80-85%.
