#1 Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the communist dream team for 2020.

#2 I think the plan is to actually have an overtly marxist ticket in 2020 with the expectation that it will lose badly. The socialists can then say the only way to their dream is to bypass the ballot box and go straight up revolution.

#3 The socialists can then say the only way to their dream is to bypass the ballot box and go straight up revolution.

That's a good plan, they should run with that. Then, we can say: "See! We told you they were Communists and would stop at nothing. By any means necessary, right. Time to thin the herd!".

#6 Not enough popcorn in the known Universe to enjoy watching the other dem candidates try to trash socialism without, you know, trashing socialism in campaign debates.

#9 :Heh: I was just reading a science fiction story where, after passing the "O" Amendment to the Constitution, President Oprah Winfrey was elected to her fourth term...
...After looking at some of the Democratic candidates it doesn't seem so improbable.

#10 Typically the party in power gets re-elected because the party out of power puts up a meh, or an outright crazy candidate.

The real problem is Bernie is a crazy candidate but half the electorate has gone crazy and a selection of the other half will have PTSD over the constant attacks on Trump by then and might hope for some peace and quiet (which won't happen but people are easily fooled).

#11 I don't think the dems will be able to get away with meh. Their big money donors expect a Barry or a Beto now. They might go for Kamalamala Dingdong or Spartacus but I don't think the big money feels the Bern...

#12 Hillary was the meh candidate. This time they will go for attractive and controllable. Beto most likely although if Trump is super-popular at that time they may let Sanders run with Beto as running mate to put him in place for the followup.
