our GOTV, to return to a 50-state strategy, and maybe take control of the House and Senate and start the process of getting control in some states so the 2020 redistricting won't be such a gerrymandered disaster for us.

Bernie could also appoint an AG who would aggressively pursue those who commit voting rights violations, as well as institute DOJ investigations of PDs that abuse PoC (or anyone else).

He could hold the feds back from interfering with weed sales in states where it is legal for medical or recreational use. He could commute unjust sentences, and even pardon Don Siegelman.

He could avoid pushing the TPP.

He could appoint decent SCOTUS judges, and use the bully pulpit to get the people to pressure recalcitrant senators to approve them.

He could refrain from appointing Rahm Emanuel to any poition of responsibility or power.

I do believe he would hear us if we presented our concerns.

And I do believe he would make powerful use of the bully pulpit to rally support from the public against an obstructionist congress.

Also, as much as I admire Obama, I was truly disheartened when he didn't make use of the fired up voters he had inspired but instead acted as though our job was finished until the next election. I believe Bernie would do his best to keep the movement going instead of letting it fade into disengagement and apathy.
