Are you unaware that there are more candidates than what you listed? And why do you have Clinton & Obama? At least attempt to make a truthful list. I’m going with Booker, who you neglected to list.

Whoever can win. That is all that matters.

FYI OP, party platforms are not what you make up. They should be available for each candidate. Look at their websites. Plus, many on your list are not running.

She belongs to the same Progressive Democratic Socialist Party in Minnesota that the Anti-Semite does.
Amy is far from being a Moderate.

Biden and Kamala Harris are not on this very strange list either.

If the democrats were smart, they would run a Biden/Bernie ticket. Early polling shows that Biden & Bernie are the far and away top two favorites among democratic voters, nobody else even comes close.

In theory, dems can hope that Biden will help win over moderate dems and independents, and Bernie will bring in all the far-right liberals/progressives.

One thing dems have going for them now that they didn't in 2016 is unity in their dislike for Trump. In 2016, many Bernie supporters did not show up to the voting booths because they didn't like Hillary.

But Clinton is out of the picture now (thank God), and democrats are unified in their dislike for Trump (much like conservatives were unified in 2016 with their hatred of Obama).

The best way to beat Trump in 2020 (if he's still in office by then) is to run a Biden/Bernie ticket, that way you have both ends of the democratic spectrum covered, from moderates/independents to liberal progressives. democrats in between will all fall in line.

I think Trump probably loses the popular vote again like he did in 2016, but it depends on the big swing states whether or not he gets the electoral college.

How did you put that list together? I'm not voting because you added people who aren't running and left off others who are or probably will. Not a good list at all.

None of the above. If the left wants a chance of winning they need to run a successful businessperson who is not part of the political establishment. They need to stop obsessing about identity politics and they need to distance themselves from some of these fringe candidates. The focus should be on the average American middle class worker and actually addressing the root problems behind the student loan crisis.
