Which Democratic candidates will buck the leftward march during the primaries?

The dumb smart and electable ones.

Riiiiiiight, LOL.

I don't remember the last time that alienating centrists got someone elected.

Reagan did pretty well. Granted, he was vs a pretty unpopular President.

Also tbf, the "center" isn't stagnant. It moves.

This. People need to understand that the "establishment" (often associated with the center) is what people despise in politics right now. This isn't 1992 anymore.

FWIW, I also think Joe Biden will go for the leftward march to some extent. It's not like the Obama administration he served under didn't move left in his second term.  I think a more reasonable answer to the question would be Klobuchar or Bullock.

I don't see this anti-establishment movement being nearly as large as you guys are making it out to be. People voted for the political establishment over a crazy man in Alabama. They voted for an establishment candidate in PA-18. The extreme, anti-establishment candidates lost in both primaries for WV-SEN. None of the recent major victories for democrats have come from far left candidates and any anti-establishment movement that could've helped Drumpf seems to have died down amid his continuously low poll numbers and backlash from republicans. There is much more evidence to show that the anti-establishment and progressive movements are way overblown than there is indicating that they'll be permanent and election-deciding.

Very true.
