Closest thing I can think of is the Emacs interface to the freesmartphone.org (FSO) DBus APIs:

You can always manually send DBus messages to the FSO/oFono daemons, here is an example for oFono:

I expect similar things are possible with Android RILs.

Android phones run Linux and most have busybox/toybox installed, which gives you a form of Unix.

The rest of what you want needs a bit of coding but should be possible to do, just need to interface with the RIL.

cheiVia0on Bernie Sanders: Where the Democrats Go from Here

Is there any evidence that Sanders gained so much support for the same reason, that people didn't like Clinton?

At the beginning of the race, I assumed Sanders would be like the "RON PAUL 2008" campaign, with a small but vocal group of supporters. I did not think a self-described socialist would be viable in a general election. (Remember how Obama was called a "soshulist"?)

Suppose DNC didn't pick the favorite, and there was a mainstream alternative to Clinton with a favorable approval rating (e.g. Biden). Would Sanders still have garnered this much support?

Had Sanders been the nominee, I would have voted for him: not for his leftist stances but because he seemed like he could be trusted with not running the country into the ground. I stayed home this election.
