I have an honest question for my pro-Bernie followers, to help my understanding. Assuming a bare Senate majority (50-50) and control of the House, what would be the practical difference between having a President Klobuchar or Biden and a President Sanders in office in 2021?

The Overton window is a freshman political science fancy, not an occult force in American politics, though. I want to understand the practical political mechanism people are positing here for change

Beyond the "He can't pass his agenda" talking point: >Imagine a president undebted to big money >Someone who puts workers first Sometimes ability to legislate isn't that important

I think that is exactly backwards. Policy is everything, the rest is just hero worship.

That part I can readily believe, and I can see a President Sanders or Warren bringing the hammer down on Wall Street in ways others wouldn't

Bernie Sanders will be a symbol that’ll keep the abstentionists he mobilizes involved in politics for years to come. If he gets a plurality, but the DNC nominates somewhere else, that’ll rip the Democratic party apart and disengage the youngest part of the electorate.

Plus, the behavior of the president influences day to day American life (e.g., racist attacks increasing under Trump), so his more forceful unity and inclusion message will increase tolerance everywhere. The racists will have to hide again, hopefully permanently this time.
