Definitely not a wild eyed lefty like Bernie or Warren. If the Dems still want to run a woman they should take a look at Yates. Of course, I have no idea if Yates has any interest in running.

NOOO!

Center left in this country means right wing for-profit militaristic capitalists.

Far left is moderate in every other country in the world.

Every other country in the world is irrelevant. In this country, centrists in the United States' political spectrum are who get elected.

Come on, I get the media is trying to hurt Bernie because he is not an Obama/Clinton democrat, but can’t you guys rally around him for 2020 already?
oh for heaven's sake, He is way to old for starters and why to the left. Not only is he too old, he looks too old that would be an issue if he were to get the nomination. So you are a socialist, you like him, but that isn't going to make him a winner

I am a socialist.

Bernie is a social democrat, he is the mean/average/whatever of this country's population.
