the whole point of the sanders campaign was to "build a movement" he was explicitly clear that electing him wouldn't do poo poo and it was up to voters to keep pursuing their ideals by voting in more people that supported those ideals having the president of the US directing and helping people select candidates that would support his highly popular vision isn't some loony magical thinking. people begged obama to do exactly this and he flat out refused saying that his grass roots organization was "like a tiger he couldn't control" bernie was popular because he was a step in the right direction and someone who was interested in continually moving in that direction. the whole point is he would lend the power of the office to building that movement. having the president willing to call out people who weren't supporting his policies, to call on the voters to get involved and elect people that actually represented them, and stand apart from the widely despised, seemingly corrupt insider politics could have potentially done wonders for this country. or it could have not worked. but even if he failed, his impacts on the country while in office would have been considerably better than clinton or trump. he was a win-win candidate. at best creating real change, at worst mitigating the damage the ruling classes are doing to this country.
