I have asked various Bernie-fans: "if President, how would President Bernie pass his very ambitious agenda considering the GOP runs Congress?".
These are the answers I got:
#1. "We will have a revolution and get a Bernie-friendly majority in both Houses."
#2. "Bernie will use Executive Orders to pass his agenda".
#3. "Bernie will stack the Supreme Court with friendly judges if they rule his Executive Orders to be unConstitutional".
When I read such things, I really worry.
There is NO way there will be a Democratic Socialist super-majority in the Senate.
And if we do get a Democrat majority in the House & Senate again, it will surely include a few Conservative Democrats, who will NOT support free public college or Medicare for all.
As for passing his agenda via Executive Order, that would quickly be struck down by the Supreme Court. Threaten to stack the court with Democratic Socialist judges? You'll see a violent uprising in the USA.
So, if Bernie from Brooklyn did become President, he would have to compromise a lot to get anything done, or do nothing. Either way, his very idealistic and energetic fans are going to be very dissapointed.
