Though they both are further to the left of their parties, Corbyn and sanders are quite different men.
I didn't think much of corbyn to begin with, but sitting on the fence during the biggest issue to face the UK in a generation in Brexit was just unforgivable, especially given his own party was staunchly pro-remain. He was weak in many of the ways Sanders is strong, less articulate, less likable, less consistent and by the time Corbyn limped to the election, less compromised. I think Sanders may have taken some of that "maverick rather than establishment" appeal away from Trump. Still, we'll never know how he would have performed in the heat of battle against trump, but I was optimistic
