Yeah, I like that. Minister of the environment. Good idea.

Yang/Gabbard. Yang isn't going all out bribery like the leading candidates are and has a better grasp of domestic policy but not foreign. Gabbard as she has a strong grasp on foreign policy without crippling the military and looking weak but is clueless on domestic as per her ignorance of the War Powers act. Neither can stand alone in my view.
Biden is the safe bet but for the wrong choices. His run is tainted by the failures of the Obama administration.

Sanders. Best platform of them all. Furthermore I personally detest Biden and Harris on a moral level. Yang is a tech bro and full of himself. Warren is being propped as a spoiler for Sanders. Gabbard is young, relatively untested, and I believe her strategy is to make herself more well-known by running; I don’t think she expects to or will try to win it.

I might be one of the few that believe Trump is quickly becoming the favorite democratic candidate for 2020...

I like Kamala Harris. I used to be a Bernie fan, but as long as he remains Independent, he will take votes away from the Democrat candidate. I wish third parties could be viable here. Maybe someday.

He is running as a Democrat. He signed the DNC pledge and all. He can't "take away votes" from a democrat when he is a democrat.
Yang might be the only candidate talking about our biggest social/economic issue, I don't like his solution but, at least he's talking about it.

I'd argue that Tulsi Gabbard is the only one who is talking about the ROOT cause of our social and economical issues. And that is the trillions of dollars wasted on these endless regime change wars. As long as we engage in these wars, and continue to give billions upon billions of dollars to the military industrial complex, we will NEVER be able to address our social and especially our economic issues.
This policy, & her giving up opposition to gay marriage might
make her presidency result in a more libertarian country.

Actually there are some people out there that feel she should run as a Libertarian. However, I think her views on gun control wouldn't sit well with the Libertarian base. She has massive cross over appeal that no other candidate has. She appeals not only to democrats and progressive democrats, but also to libertarians, green party, and, most importantly, frustrated Trump voters. No other democratic candidate (aside from Bernie) even cares to try and reach them.
But I will say she has no opposition to gay marriage. She has a 100% rating from the Human Rights foundation for her voting record on LGBTQ legislation. LGBTQ+ She did, however, grow up in a very conservative house hold who were ingraining her anti-gay views. And she did share them up until she deployed overseas where her entire life view on the matter changed.
If she's too anti-gun rights, she'd never be happy as a Libertarian.
Besides, joining our party would be the kiss of political death.
