I’d also add that his supporters seem to think it’s a fait accompli that the Dem congresscritters will blindly go along with all of Bernie’s promises.

Because of the rural/urban population concentration issues in the US, a large minority of Dem congresscritters will represent districts which aren’t supportive of Bernie’s priorities. Thus, Bernie would likely create what we haven’t seen in our government for some time — — a bipartisan opposition to his ideas.
