    The Democrats probably would have won a couple more seats in the Senate, roping more members into the role of "rotating villain." A lot more pressure would be applied on Congress from the White House to do good things, but this would not necessarily deliver results. Several useful policies would be implemented through executive order though, creating a dichotomy between the White House and Congress which does not exist under Biden where both are equally useless. Depending on Bernie's ability to substantially change things through executive power alone, the midterm would end up being a very hostile referendum on which path the party should take. The media and the money would still win, though more marginal gains in Congress might be made.

    If he touched anything regarding imperial policy, they would shoot him with the heart attack gun.
