We don't have a party on the left. We've got the crazy-right and centrist, but no left wing party. I'd happily vote for a progressive but let's not wander into fantasyland here.
please do try to keep up

Bernie was pretty left. Think he'll run again? Maybe he'll be toned back too much on the presidential trail though -- that's what happened to McCain.

I still think Hillary will take one more grab at the brass ring. Kerry is hinting as his intentions, as well.
The sad thing is, the Dem bench is stacked with strong possibilities. Joe Biden has a prayer. And if the Dems want to play 2020 in Game Genie mode, they have Tulsi Gabbard and Tammy Duckworth as very strong candidates. Both of them could shut down Trump’s bullying MO pretty damn quickly.

Warren is also probably not who the establishment wants. I think Warren would be a good president, but I agree not a good candidate to run against Trump. Booker has a shot, but he's polarizing.
Have they changed enough that a popular Democrat could pull what trump pulled? Or do they still have a system to keep out undesirables?
It seems like they're dedicated more to the appearance of taking the high road.
Yeah.. the fart fumes are clearly messing with that boy’s brains.
