The Political Revolution: Bernie Sanders' New Deal

[America Needs R'hllor]

Authors note: I'll be going into further detail about the new makeup of the House and Senate in my next post. I also hope for this to be an interactive timeline (see Hindsight is 2020) with users participating as pundits. Reply and claim a pundit if interested.

I'm touched

Also, I would very much like to claim Rachel Maddow

also, how exactly did Bernie win the nomination over HRC in this verse?

Yeah, this looks very interesting, some more background will be appreciated!

This timeline is cringe-inducing, to be perfectly honest.

Sanders would not win Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Arizona, and Montana. Sanders did HORRIBLY in the southern primaries, so Virginia could go Republican as well. Also, do you really think that many people would flock to a far-left SJW socialist like Sanders? Sanders came close to being the Democratic Goldwater; someone who's views are too radical for most of the party and despised by the establishment. Trump, believe it or not, is a more moderate Republican as he ran to the left of Cruz, Rubio, Paul, and others. Sanders was to Hillary's FAR left.

The VP picks are absolutely atrocious. There's no way that Trump would pick Christie post-Bridgegete and no way Sanders would pick an old woman from his state's southern border. Trump would still go with Mike Pence, while for Bernie I could see Tulsi Gabbard being a good pick. Warren? Well, you'll see Trump win MORE states than he did in our world.

I understand he's your favorite politician, but this just seems like a huge (and implausible) Anti-Trump #FeelTheBern wank. In my humble opinion, Bernie would've lost worse than Hillary did. At least Hillary had minority support.

Side note: John McCain losing reelection? Come on, that's way too unrealistic.  

Cool story.

Get out of my TL if you don't like it. You don't have show up and publicly take a dump in my thread like an asshat.

I have nothing against creativity, but I am a nut when it comes to realism and accuracy. Not trying to be an "asshat," but I think there are some logical changes to be made.

Many timelines are unrealistic, some perfectly good timelines, like the ones where Perot or Gary Johnson win. And in any case, a Bernie landslide was in the realm of possibilities.
