What do you guys think of Andrew Yang?
I've never voted Democrat, and I doubt he'll win the nomination...but I'd definitely consider swinging left in 2020 if he somehow manages to get relevant.

The guy is very interesting and will probably get some attention. What I like most about him is his ideas are new and not based on the old "more unions and government jobs" routine. He also is young enough to run in 4 or 8 or even 12 years.
He might be a little ahead of the times for now. People would have to get hungry for new solutions instead of old timey FDR socialism.
Even if Dems completely screw everything up with this Green New Deal and being unable to respond if the market crashes (the market crash may very well be triggered by a socialist being elected president), that doesn't mean they are going to want some more "market-based"/Trumpism in response.
Thats when Yang could surge in popularity as a real possibility.
