Most likely, he loses the general, Trump and his two houses of congress put us back on that front for decades to come.

Less likely, Bernie wins the general election, accomplishes nothing because Presidents don't have any power over those issues, and his supporters feel betrayed just like the less-serious Obama supporters eventually did.

If you really want a revolution, you can't pretend it's something so simple that it can be accomplished at the ballot box.
