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?

To be fair, Sanders does talk about using existing Senate parliamentary rules (probably reconciliation) to try and get things through without 60 votes. I'm skeptical of how viable that will be. https://www.npr.org/2019/09/12/760375754/what-is-the-filibuster-and-why-do-some-democrats-want-to-end-it …

While he's very progressive politically, I think he really is a Senate institutionalist and doesn't like the norms of the Senate being torn down (all my words, not his).
