Sanders, or ANY progressive for President in 2020.

[JCanete]

25. I predict a 200 post thread. I think you could make a compelling argument about what we need our

leaders to sound like and advocate for without invoking Sanders name as an inevitable. Also, people will bristle fairly, that you are distinguishing certain democrats as progressives and are excluding the rest from that title. There are different ways to fight for progessive values and some are more insider. In fact, while I think that we need a loud left-wing pressure on the insiders, ultimatelly, at the end of the day, it will be those who can navigate that field who will be doing most of the policy making to realize that progressive agenda.

While a Sanders presidency, or somebody in that ideistic camp is possible, its still an absoulte long shot, if more likely than its ever been. That said, a strong showing will affect the party as a whole, as it has done recently.
