Unlikely. The problem with the left is that they are never able to turn anger into success at the ballot box. When leftist ideology wins, its because moderates and enough conservative-leaning independents are fed up with the GOP governing things, not because leftists have managed to get a serious increase of leftist voters to the ballot box. This most recent special election is a key example of that. The 6th GA congressional district is a heavily conservative district. The only way Ossoff could've gotten so close is with the support of Republicans; but, in a district where President Trump only won by 1.5% points and where he is not very well liked, this isn't such a surprise. One key problem with this Democrat temper tantrum is that one of its core constituencies isn't involved in any significant manner (i.e. African Americans). Black American voters represent a huge Democratic constituency and have over-sized influence in states like PA, WI, MI, etc. The "resistance" has largely been white leftists. If Dems aren't able to diversify the "resistance" or at least get more GOPers on their side (outside of Georgia's 6th congressional district, where Trump has always been hated, the overwhelming majority of Trump voters are still giving him the benefit of the doubt/support the president), their temper tantrum will just be another footnote in the history books.

Well then, I guess Wikipedia lied (which I doubt). I don't see anyone voting for Stein, Libertarians included.

Gee, I feel so warm and fuzzy. The man does nothing but lie. It's pathetic. And even he "loves" blacks (which he doesn't), he hates brown people of all kinds - even ones who are US citizens. Try double speaking away THAT particular case of idenity politics.

Tulsi Gabbard, Sherrod Brown, Al Franken, Bernie Sanders.

I think these four are the best ones. I like Liz Warren's relentless fight against the crooks on Wall Street and her dedication for the working class of America, but I think she might struggle with the working stiffs in rural America unlike the above mentioned 4.

Most Liberals dislike President Trump. They want everyone to dislike him too... To feel like they do. But it's backfiring. As a matter of fact, the more the Libs whine about our amazing President, the more America sees through the never-ending-wet-diaper-cry-baby Libs and so... as result, America wants Trump in the W.H. in 2020, even MORE than before.... America LOVES Trump! Put that on your Red Trump Hat in 2020.
