There is no leader or singular voice, nobody popular enough on a national scale to get democrats out to the polls in two years. The HRC Project failed twice and they don't really stand for anything anymore. Bernie is old as hell and anything even approaching socialism is a very difficult sale in America. Running on a "We Aren't Trump" message is not going to cut it in 2020.
I don't disagree with any of this.. I just don't see too many "normal" Democrats anymore.
