Well, I doubt he blames himself for anything that's occurred, and I certainly don't think he's going to become a socialist or anything like that. He does seem aware that 40 years of free market capitalism without any pushback from a real progressive party on behalf of the working class has created the conditions necessary for Trump, and that's more self-awareness than I've seen from Nancy Pelosi. That being said, I'm sure this newfound progressive streak will boil down to, "let's raise the federal minimum wage so we can get back to capitalism as usual."
