Can someone explain to me why Deval Patrick and the Castro Brothers are getting so much support?  They seem super generic and uninspiring, even compared to governors like Bullock or Inslee.

Deval Patrick would easily lose the general election.

I was thinking the other day about how Heidi Heitkamp would be an interesting VP for Harris or Booker.  It would certainly balance the ticket, maybe a bit too much though.

IMO: The three frontrunners right now are:
Biden
Harris
Beto

Sherrod seems to be picking up name recognition though.

Oh great, just what we need, a candidate who visited Assad in secret and who regularly goes on RT.

Is it just me or is Sherrod's Dignity Of Work branding really on point?

Democrats (and quite a few independants) DO love Joe Biden. Lots of Ds on this sub and Bernie bots on other social media platforms seem to dislike him though, making it seem as though he is unpopular.

They like Joe Biden as he is now, the former VP to a President they strongly like and admire.

If/when he runs for President as championing the pre-2016 status quo, and inevitably has multiple gaffes, they aren't gonna like him as much. He may not implode but his numbers are gonna come down to Earth pretty fast.

Additionally, he's out of step with the Democratic Party on multiple issues that the party is undeniably starting to moving left on (primarily economic issues). If Biden ends up winning the nomination and then wins the presidency, he'll rightfully face a lot of scrutiny from the left for not being progressive enough, if at all.

To be fair, we don't really know his specific political positions given that he hasn't run in 10 years.
