It seemed to me like Bernie really got brainwashed into believing he caused Trump to be president in 2016 and had Chomsky-brain about 2020.
I think he’s realized the party establishment will never allow him to do more than he is, so now he has the freedom to do whatever he wants and not care if he pisses them off. He’ll never lose the senate in Vermont and he’s too old to run for anything else so he can be as disruptive as needed in the senate.
Unfortunately he’s just one guy with one probably dependable ally (Markey), but he has the largest platform in the Senate. Also, if the Dems win in Georgia, Bernie becomes very powerful (so does Manchin unfortunately).
