Honestly, while I am also enjoying the schadenfreude, this seems like a prime opportunity for leftists to do some de-radicalizing. Bernie should head out there and talk to folks.

"See I was right all the time!" Isn't the deprogramming many think it is. But smarter people probably know how to do it. Then again I bet it includes things like free education so good luck with that.

I have never been envious of the USA but nowadays it's even less.

Take a look at some of the footage from Bernie’s Fight the Oligarchy tour. “I told ya so” is not his approach at all.
