Yes, it would have been 4 years of zero progress because he would have been stonewalled by both parties.

That still sounds like a dream compared to everything else we have seen done.

I think the big difference would have been around Covid. The Trump administration really, really dropped the ball there, and a potential Sanders administration might have done better (i.e. invested money in preventing it from getting out of Asia, as was done for SARS 1).

Now, that might not have worked but anything might have had a pretty large impact on global/US deaths.
