ELI5 the realistic impacts on the economy if we elected Sanders.

Congress passes laws, not the President. And even if a majority of both houses of Congress somehow decided to adopt a centrally-controlled planned economy and the distribution of resources according to need, then the Supreme Court would likely strike down their bills as being unconstitutional.

The President has power, but not nearly that kind of power. And most American socialists are aware of the impossibility of a truly socialist government taking place in their lifetimes. What they want, instead, is for the government to take on services that can made more efficient without private competition, like a single-payer healthcare system in place of health insurance, which has been one of Bernie Sanders's most vocal positions as a senator.
