While I politically am closest to the likes of Sanders and Warren, I would prefer the candidate who could best win, which honestly I have no idea who would be at this time. Maybe Cuomo. But really, if Hillary doesn't run this is gonna be one big uphill battle for the dems.
If neither Hillary Clinton or Kirsten Gillibrand is running, the election is effectively lost, so you might as well just vote your conscience -which is what I did here.
If the Democratic party can't beat the Republican party's horrible field unless they run Hillary or some irrelevant senator, they have no right to exist as a national party.
